Biden Administration Flounders in Middle East With Inability to Name an Ambassador to Israel
By Shipwreckedcrew | May 17, 2021 8:30 AM ET

We are fast approaching the end of the fourth month of the Biden Administration, and there still has been no announcement of a nominee to fill the position of Ambassador to Israel.

President Trump announced during his transition that David Friedman would be his nominee to be Ambassador to Israel. The Senate held a confirmation hearing on February 16, 2017, and a vote of the Foreign Relations Committee took place on March 9 with Friedman’s nomination being sent to the Senate floor 12-9. Friedman was confirmed by the Senate on March 23.

That process demonstrated the importance that the Trump Administration placed on the relationship between the United States and Israel.

Three weeks ago it was reported that former State Department official Robert Nides was in line to be the Biden Administration’s nominee.

Among Obama Administration State Department alums – he was deputy secretary of state for management and resources – Nides was considered a pro-Israel voice, and someone the Israelis often turned to in the Obama Administration to have their voice heard.

Israel and Hamas have been engaged in a hot – and growing hotter – shooting war in and around Gaza for a week, yet no nominee to represent the United States in Jerusalem has yet been named.

And that might be a big part of the problem.

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Why was Friedman forced to step down on Jan 20?  He could have continued to serve until a replacement was confirmed.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
