Bennett names Michael Herzog as Israeli ambassador to US
Herzog, a retired brigadier general and fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy, is the brother of Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has tapped former Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiator Michael Herzog as the country’s next ambassador to the United States, the prime minister’s office said Friday.
Bennett named Herzog “in light of his rich, years-long experience in the security and diplomatic fields, and his deep familiarity with the strategic challenges Israel is facing, foremost the Iranian nuclear threat.”
