Biden’s pick for ambassador to Israel is so awful, it’s hard to believe what he’s done
Tom Cotton
Israel is at war and the forces of terror are once again on the march in the Middle East. In this time of peril, America needs a reliable, honest, and forthright ambassador to Israel with a record of defending the Jewish State. President Joe Biden’s nominee for U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, is none of these things.
While serving as then-President Barack Obama’s secretary of Treasury, Lew championed the Iran nuclear deal and was instrumental in its implementation. Lew called the agreement with Iran, which delivered over $100 billion in sanctions relief to Israel’s greatest enemy, a "strong deal" and said that "it will make our country safer, it will make our allies safer, and it will make the world safer."
Our allies in Israel disagreed. In fact, Prime Minister Netanyahu called the agreement, "a very bad deal." An Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University poll found that 73% of Jewish Israelis believed that the deal posed an "existential threat" to their nation. Attendees booed and jeered Lew when he spoke in defense of the agreement at the 2015 annual conference of the Jerusalem Post — one of Israel’s largest newspaper publications.
