No. 37: Ron Dermer, Yechiel Leiter, Danny Danon: Diplomats, power broker making Israel’s case

Yechiel Leiter, Ron Dermer, and Danny Danon are key figures in Israel's diplomatic efforts, particularly in the United States and at the United Nations, during a period of significant international scrutiny. Yechiel Leiter, as Israel's Ambassador to the US since January 2025, leverages his American background and personal experience as a bereaved father to advocate for Israel's interests in Washington, nurturing the crucial relationship with the US administration, Congress, and the public. Ron Dermer, though without an official title, remains a highly influential and trusted confidant of Prime Minister Netanyahu, utilizing his deep connections within the Trump administration and extensive diplomatic experience to handle sensitive assignments and troubleshoot with the White House. Danny Danon, serving as Israel's Ambassador to the UN since 2024, uses his prior experience and political acumen to challenge anti-Israel narratives and expose hypocrisy in a often-hostile diplomatic environment, aiming his message at a broad international audience beyond the UN chambers. All three play vital roles in ensuring Israel's voice is heard globally.
