Israeli Ambassador Danny Danon congratulated Mike Waltz on his nomination to be the United States’ ambassador to the United Nations, calling him a “true friend” to the state of Israel.

“Waltz is a true friend of the State of Israel and of the Jewish people, and we will stand together against the forces of lies and hatred at the UN,” Danon said in a statement. “Israel and the US are allies who share common values ??and who also face shared threats.
