Greenblatt, former White House envoy to the Middle East, founder of Abraham Venture LLC and senior director of Arab-Israeli Diplomacy at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, along with Israeli-Canadian businessman Sylvan Adams, CEO of Iberville Developments, and Palestinian entrepreneur Bashar Masri, founder of Massar International, have united to donate a United Hatzalah Ambucar in East Jerusalem.

A United Hatzalah Ambucar is an advanced emergency response vehicle designed for rapid deployment across challenging terrain, ensuring swift aid during crises. Arab volunteer medics of United Hatzalah will drive the lifesaving vehicle, highlighting the diversity of the organization’s volunteer base. The donated vehicle will provide much-needed life-saving care to East Jerusalem, a predominantly Arab community. Together, Greenblatt, Adams and Masri donated $120,000 for the vehicle.

“Unity and diversity are what make Israel strong,” said Greenblatt. “Partnering with Sylvan Adams and Bashar Masri to support United Hatzalah and provide care to the residents of the eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem embodies these principles. United Hatzalah exemplifies what Israel stands for: Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and Druze first responders working together to save lives.”
