President Joe Biden is nominating former US Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to be ambassador to Israel, the White House said Tuesday.
Lew, 68, also served as Barack Obama’s budget director and as White House chief of staff in his administration. He would replace former ambassador Tom Nides who left his post in Jerusalem in July, after less than two years on the job.
