Former Israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Oren probably won’t be invited back to the White House anytime soon.
The widely respected historian, who served as Israel’s top diplomat in Washington from 2009 to 2013, is out with a new book, “Ally,” that skewers President Barack Obama and his administration’s foreign policy. In an extensive interview, Oren told The Daily Caller that he published the book now to try to influence the debate over the impending Iranian nuclear agreement.
Israel is “a highly diverse and often rambunctious political system, which is a multi-party system where nobody agrees on anything,” Oren said. “But on the Iranian nuclear issue, there’s something close to a national consensus, which is very, very rare in Israel. We all agree that this is an exceedingly bad deal, a perilous deal for us.”
