This endorsement is expected to \u200dsecure the necessary votes for Lew&#8217;s confirmation, as tensions in\u200d the Middle East continue to escalate.<\/p>\n<p>Manchin praised Lew as \u2063a person\u2063 of integrity and transparency, \u2062highlighting their longstanding\u2064 friendship despite their disagreement on the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. However, Manchin \u2064revealed\u200b that Lew has committed to imposing\u2063 and strengthening sanctions \u2062against Iran for its involvement in \u2064the recent Hamas attack on Israel.<\/p>\n<h3>Standing Strong Against Terrorism<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;In\u2063 light of the ongoing consequences of that attack, it is crucial to remember that Hamas is a terrorist organization that exploits innocent\u200c Palestinians in Gaza as human shields. On the other hand, Israel utilizes its weapons to protect its people,&#8221; emphasized Manchin. He expressed his eagerness to support\u2062 Lew&#8217;s nomination and stressed \u200bthe\u2063 urgency \u200dfor the Senate to swiftly act on it, enabling Lew to begin his work in Israel immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Biden officially nominated Lew in September\u2063 to serve as the top diplomat to Israel, succeeding former Ambassador Thomas Nides. Lew brings extensive experience, having served as the\u2063 director of \u200cthe Office of Management \u2063and\u2064 Budget \u200dunder Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack\u200d Obama, as well as Obama&#8217;s treasury secretary.<\/p>\n<p>With Manchin&#8217;s backing, Senate Democrats\u200d are likely to secure\u2063 Lew&#8217;s confirmation, despite objections from Republicans who have raised concerns about his stance on the Iran \u2064deal. \u200cSome Republicans, including Senator Tom Cotton (R-AR), have accused Lew of sympathizing\u2062 with Iran, labeling him unfit for the ambassadorial role.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Foreign Relations\u2064 Chairman Ben Cardin (D-MD) has urged the Senate\u2062 to expedite Lew&#8217;s confirmation, emphasizing the critical need for a Senate-confirmed U.S. ambassador in Israel, with Lew being ready to serve.<\/p>\n<p>As Democrats hold the majority in the Senate, \u2063Lew&#8217;s confirmation is expected\u2063 to proceed smoothly.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does Nides&#8217; appointment as ambassador to Israel strengthen the US-Israel\u2064 relationship and contribute \u200bto resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Ael, Thomas\u2063 Nides.
