FLORIDA – It is rumored that President Biden could make his choice for the next Ambassador to Israel within the next two days.
It is further rumored that former Rep. Robert Wexler is well in the running.
According to the Forward’s Jacob Kornbluh, it is between Robert Wexler and Tom Nides.
Wexler was born in Queens and is decidedly pro-Israel. For those who remember, he is also for reducing the high cost of Matzoh near Pesach, once advocating that Florida residents Fed-Ex Matzoh from New York.
Wexler represented parts of South Florida in Congress from 1997 to 2010. He also served in the state Senate, from 1990 to 1996.
In 2010, Wexler resigned from Congress after being named executive director of the Center for Middle East Peace and Economic Cooperation, a pro-Israel Washington think tank.
More recently, Wexler has worked at lobbying firm Ballard Partners. Wexler joined the firm in 2017. In 2020, Ballard opened in Tel Aviv, Israel and Wexler helped found that office.
