Sharansky: Obama's New Chief of Staff "Staunch Israel Supporter"
(Ynet News) Aviel Magnezi - Jewish Agency Chairman Natan Sharansky said that the new White House chief of staff, Jack Lew, has a "warm place in his heart that is reserved for Israel and Judaism." Sharansky said Lew would not remain indifferent to Israel. "For him, it's not just another country. His faith and bond with Israel and the Jewish people is an important part of his life." "He is a man who's open to Israel and the Middle East and has extensive knowledge on the subject. He has worked in this field for many years, and it's always good to have someone who cares and is in the know." "Lew is a great Israel supporter and has always taken upon himself to help us. The question is not whether he'll be loyal to his boss - he will be. The question is whether Israel is only an abstract thing for him...or whether it's more than that," Sharansky added.
