APN Welcomes Nomination of Dan Shapiro as Ambassador to Israel

Washington, DC - Americans for Peace Now (APN) today warmly welcomed President Barack Obama's decision to nominate Daniel B. Shapiro to serve as the US Ambassador to Israel.
 
"Dan Shapiro is an excellent candidate for this important position. He knows Israel, knows the issues, feels strongly about the importance of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and about the importance of peace for a secure and democratic Israel," said Debra DeLee, APN's president and CEO.

"Dan has the professional aptitude and the personal attitude needed to excel as ambassador to Israel. I hope that Congress will swiftly confirm his nomination and that the President will empower Dan to assertively serve America's quest for Middle East peace," DeLee said.
