Following the appointment of David Friedman as US Ambassador to Israel, Jack Rosen, President of the American Jewish Congress made the following comment:
“The American Jewish Congress congratulates David Friedman on his appointment as US Ambassador to Israel.
"Clearly, Mr Friedman represents a different approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict than we have seen in the past. While we support fully a peaceful resolution and have worked tirelessly over the years to build bridges between Israelis and Palestinians, it is, however time to confront Palestinian incitement and murdering of Jews."
