Rep. Adam Schiff Releases Statement on Senate Confirmation of US Ambassador to Israel
Washington, D.C. — Today, Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) released a statement on the Senate’s confirmation of the United States Ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew.
“Yesterday's Senate confirmation of Ambassador Jack Lew is a crucial step in safeguarding our relationship with Israel. The brutal attack by Hamas on October 7 demands the full attention and expertise of our Ambassador, and I have full confidence that Jack Lew is exceptionally well-suited for this role.
Ambassador Lew's extensive experience and deep commitment to the region make him the right choice for this critical position at this moment in time. His proven track record in international finance and diplomacy equips him with the knowledge and skills needed to navigate the complex challenges he will face.
I look forward to working with Ambassador Lew to ensure that Israel receives the necessary resources to protect both Israeli and American citizens from the threats posed by Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran, and that humanitarian support can reach the people of Gaza. Together, we will work to strengthen the security of our ally and the prospect of peace in the future.”
