As ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew will undoubtedly be the staunch ally that the Jewish state needs during this remarkably difficult time.
While still under the status of ambassador-designate, Lew hit the ground running by participating with Blinken in a meeting of Israel’s war cabinet.
Washington has not had an ambassador to Israel since July, when Tom Nides left the post. Now, former Treasury secretary Jack Lew will take it up.
Readers of The Jerusalem Post have their say.
Jack Lew is a worthy nominee and a mensch and we look forward to welcoming him to Jerusalem.
Lew served as the 76th United States Secretary of the Treasury from 2013 to 2017 under President Barack Obama.
Appointing Jack Lew, who has a history of insulting Benjamin Netanyahu and a harmful-to-Israel record, will only further harm the US-Israel relationship, at a time when what it needs is healing.
