A senior member of the Biden administration attacked Diaspora Minister Amichai Chikli, saying that he "doesn't understand American Jewry" and warned that his latest statements will have "repercussions."

Ha'aretz reported that this was said a day after Chikli called the Jewish-American left-wing group J Street a "hostile organization", and a week after he justified attacks on Jewish philanthropist George Soros by billionaire Elon Musk.
