Following the Biden administration announcement that former Deputy Secretary of State Thomas Nides is nominated to be U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Democratic Majority for Israel CEO Mark Mellman released the following statement.

At this historic moment of change in Israel, DMFI extends our heartfelt congratulations to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Foreign Minister, Yair Lapid.

DMFI welcomes the announcement of a new Israeli government. We note that this government will not only be expansive, including parties representing the left, right, and center of Israeli politics, it will also be inclusive, with Arabs, women, and Jews of color holding key positions.
