Amb. Daniel Shapiro
I attended an AIPAC-sponsored rabbinic lunch featuring former US ambassador to Israel, Daniel Shapiro. He told us many things that I did not know, chief among them the background to the US failure to veto a Security Council resolution condemning Israel in the waning days of the Obama administration. The initial resolution was sponsored by the Palestinian Authority and the United States was not able to keep it from coming to a vote. According to Shapiro, the only reason the United States agreed to vote in favor of it was based on their belief that the notion of a two-state solution, even if years away, was in serious jeopardy. The United States' pro vote was meant to keep a two-state deal alive (and in the long run the provisions of this resolution, would not negatively impact on Israel).
He also told us that he recently authored a piece in the Wall Street Journal in which he came out in favor of moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem! (Without a subscription I could not access his op-ed on the WSJ site). But I did come across these 2 articles:
