"Congratulations to Israel":
Against the background of the Washington Post's report that Thomas Mobiles is expected to be appointed US Ambassador to Israel, Israel and the United States are already welcoming his forthcoming appointment to the significant position.
Former Israeli ambassador to the United States, Dr. Michael Oren, welcomed the expected appointment of Neidas and said: "The choice of him is a blessing for the State of Israel. Neilas is a warm and loving Jew in Israel. He does belong to the Democratic Party, but his views are moderate and not extreme."
Oren added that in his previous position in the State Department, Niles had always been approachable and tried to assist.
In an interview with Jewish Insider Aaron Miller, a friend of Niles and a former Middle East adviser to previous U.S. administrations, he managed to shed some light around the figure of the designated ambassador.
"He's smart, he's smart and I think he's going to be a great ambassador," said Miller, who immediately added that "this is a person with real pro-Israel sensitivity, but I think he is capable of making the kind of disconnect that is important to finding balance in US relations." To Israel. "
Niles is married to media woman Virginia Mosley, who serves as senior vice president of news gathering at the U.S. CNN network. It should be noted that a number of other Jews are expected to be appointed ambassadors to the Biden administration, including Michael Adler in Belgium, David Cohen in Canada and former Barack Obama chief of staff Ram Ram Emanuel, who is expected to represent the White House in Japan.
