U.S. Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides: Escalation of tensions in Judea and Samaria poses as great a threat as Iran to Israel.
U.S. Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides said that American support for Israel is “an unbreakable tie,” while acknowledging that many Israelis don’t believe U.S. Joe President Biden has Israel’s back.
“We stand by Israel to make sure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon. That is also in our national security interest, and we’ve repeated that over and over again,” said Thomas Nides.
Fleur Hassan-Nahoum, the Israeli capital’s “unofficial foreign minister,” is a natural fit for the global leadership cohort, says the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

These incidents “highlight the volatility of the situation and the urgent need for leaders to work together against the spiral of violence,” said U.N. Special Coordinator for Middle East Peace Tor Wennesland.
Speaking to a webinar hosted by the American for Peace Now, Thomas Nides further says “we can’t do stupid things that impede us for a two-state solution.”

Nides responds to Amnesty report accusing Israel of apartheid: ‘This is absurd’
Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Herzog went further: “It totally distorts the true meaning of the phrase apartheid to suit its political purposes and totally distorts the true nature of Israel.”
The United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Jordan and Egypt are to be among the participating countries.
Speaking during a menorah-lighting ceremony at the Western Wall, the ambassador said he first came to Israel more than 40 years ago when he was just a 15-year-old “little Jewish kid from Duluth, Minn.”
“The people of Israel welcome you with open arms and an open heart,” says President Isaac Herzog to Ambassador Thomas Nides.
