Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu named as Israel’s new ambassador to Washington Tuesday an extreme nationalist with close ties to the US Republican Party.
Ron Dermer, who already served a stint in Washington as economic attache from 2005 to 2008, is on the record opposing the creation of a Palestinian state.
According to US diplomatic cables leaked to WikiLeaks, he is also convinced that the western-backed Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas is not a partner for peace.
