    This week, Ambassador Ron Dermer officially became Israel's 18th ambassador to the U.S., after he presented his ​credentials to US President​ Barack Obama at the White House.

    In the White House guestbook, Ambassador Dermer wrote: "I feel proud and honored to serve as Israel's Ambassador to the United States. America is a country to which the Jewish people owe so much and to which I, as a son of America, am so personally indebted. I look forward to working with you and your administration to make the bonds between Israel & America stronger than ever."

    At his credentialing ceremony, Ambassador Dermer presented President Obama custom-made cufflinks with a replica of the etched menorah tablet found in the city of David excavations in ancient Jerusalem.
