@giladerdan1: I've spoken to PM Bennett and asked him to accept my resignation as Israel's Amb. to the US, pending the appointment of a new Ambassador on his behalf. It was a true honor to represent Israel to our closest ally. 1/3

@giladerdan1: During my tenure, I worked to establish ties with the Biden admin, as well as to strengthen the bipartisan support. Those ties were proven during the Gaza operation when the US halted anti-Israel initiatives in the UNSC & approved additional funding for the Iron Dome. 2/3

@giladerdan1: I believe it is up to the current government to appoint an Ambassador that will represent it politically with the administration. However, I will continue to defend Israel at the UN and fight for justice in the international arena. 3/3
