Manchin Supports Jack Lew as US Ambassador to Israel

Senator Joe Manchin, a key swing vote in the Senate, has announced his support for President Biden's nomination of Jack Lew as the U.S. ambassador to Israel. Despite facing opposition from Senate Republicans due to his involvement in the Iran nuclear deal during the Obama administration, Manchin praised Lew's integrity and commitment to enforcing and strengthening sanctions against Iran. With Manchin's support, Lew's nomination is expected to be confirmed by the Senate, where Democrats hold a slim majority.
