Today’s Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing to confirm David Friedman as US ambassador to Israel was interrupted by protesters, who accused him of promoting racism and being in favour of the occupation.
One demonstrator shouted that Mr Friedman was a war criminal before being escorted from the room.
Mr Friedman, a bankruptcy lawyer and a long-time confidant of President Donald Trump, gained notoriety when it emerged he had labelled dovish pro-peace advocacy group “worse than kapos - Jews who turned in their fellow Jews in the Nazi death camps” in an article in an article for Israel National News.
