New Israeli Ambassador to U.S. Gilad Erdan: "The Mainstream of the Democratic Party Supports Israel"
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - U.S. Ambassador Gilad Erdan has met with U.S. President Joe Biden, Erdan said on Thursday after he took over the post from Ron Dermer. "I happened to coincidentally meet him on the train to Washington. We had a very long conversation about his relationship with Prime Minister Netanyahu and the State of Israel, which runs very deep." "I think we can expect years of expanding cooperation to even more areas beyond the existing ones," Erdan said. "I think there is a strong basis for optimism. In talks I have had with factors in the Democratic party and members of Congress, the mainstream of the Democratic party supports Israel very much. They understand that we are an asset to the U.S. and have shared values."
