WhatsappThis interview is gold.
Ron Dermer served Israel in DC during the most dangerous US administration, President Obama, and during the best US administration, President Trump, for Israel. His insight into serving during those two Presidencies is invaluable.
In addition to throwing in some surprising stories and facts about Netanyahu, I believe the most important point that Ambassador Dermer emphasizes, time and again, in the interview, is the fact that Israel’s work in DC is always about policies and never about politics.
While many people try to paint Netanyahu as creating a partisan divide in US politics, Ambassador Dermer makes it quite clear, using his personal experience as well, that that was never the case. Netanyahu always worked with both sides of the aisle, and all their work was always focused on fighting for good policies, regardless if the President was a Democrat or a Republican.
In addition, Dermer answers questions about working with the pro-Israel Evangelical Christian community as well as the US Jewish community.
