What is the significance of this resignation? Consider these major incidents while Greenblatt was in office, which was only for 2 years.
US severed its diplomatic links with the Palestinians, closed down its consulate in Jerusalem Al Quds, and cut all aid to the Palestinian territories.
And that is a partial listing Hanan Ashrawi, a senior Palestinian official, said she thought that Palestinians as a whole were going to say good riddance.
The key question remains why would Greenblatt announce his resignation before the unveiling of a project that he worked on for two years. One explanation is due to the low chances of success for the so-called deal of the century.
