The new Israeli Ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, who was raised in Scranton Pennsylvania, is uniquely qualified for the position. He has been one of the main leaders that has connected pro-Israel Americans with the State of Israel for decades. His work to help settle the heartland of Israel has been extremely effective and has led to hundreds of thousands of people resetlling the ancestral Land of the Jewish people. There are many people in America and Israel who are dedicated to building the Land of Israel because of the work of Yechiel Leiter.
Along with his activities, he has also raised a large family. Following the terrible Hamas surprise attack on Israel, it was Yechiel Leiter’s eldest son who was the leader at the forefront of the attack to destroy Hamas. He, along with other heroes, left their families and gave their lives up fighting in an elite unit of reserve soldiers who fought valiantly to bring honor and safety back to the Land of Israel.
Ambassador Leiter is an eloquent and experienced champion of everything that Israel needs. He is a scholar of note, an experienced and practical builder and planner who is well-versed in the art of diplomacy and international relations, and he understands both the American and Israeli political landscapes very well. He belongs where he is as a central figure in Israel’s leadership representing Israel’s interests with the United States of America.
