Donald Trump has nominated bankruptcy attorney David Friedman to be the United States ambassador to Israel, the president-elect’s transition team announced Thursday night.
Friedman served as a top adviser to Trump during the 2016 campaign on matters concerning the U.S.-Israel relationship.
“The bond between Israel and the United States runs deep, and I will ensure there is no daylight between us when I’m president,” Trump said in a statement on the nomination. “As the United States’ ambassador to Israel, David Friedman will maintain the special relationship between our two countries.”
