Israeli ambassador to United States resigns
The Zionist regime’s ambassador to the U.S. resigned on Sunday, hours after welcoming Israeli President Reuven Rivlin to D.C., where he will meet on Monday with President Biden at the White House.
Gilad Erdan's decision comes as the Biden administration and new Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett feel each other out, particularly on the most contentious issues like Iran and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
- "I believe it is up to the current government to appoint an ambassador that will represent it politically with the administration," Erdan tweeted on Sunday.
- Erdan had recently replaced Ron Dermer, Benjamin Netanyahu’s closest confidant who served as ambassador for eight years and became one of Washington's most influential and powerful diplomats.
- Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Lapid in Rome on Sunday.
