The US Senate has confirmed on Thursday President Donald Trump’s nominee David Friedman to be the next US ambassador to Israel. Senators approved the nomination of Friedman in a 52- 46 vote, Sputnik reports.
Senate Democrats had expressed concern about Friedman's support for illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and his stated opposition to a two-state solution. The former attorney was one of Trump's principal advisors on the US-Israel relationship during the presidential campaign.
