@Francisco @Dissident Soaps Actually not, and that he's Jewish just adds interesting dimensions to this.
Assuming it's true (it's not true the deal was sealed), it's not the way for the envoy to make friends with ultra-Jews and more observant Jews that are critical parts of Netanyahu's coalition. This article is either showing Trump's frequent ability to make bad hiring decisions, or is aimed at harming Team Trump, and Netanyahu for its claim he acceded to this demand.
On the other hand it's a very bad deal for Israel, and Trump has been vocal about how he wants the fighting over before he becomes President again. And the latter is consistent, Trump's not a warmonger.
