Israel’s envoy to US ‘briefed Trump’s AIPAC speechwriter’

Haaretz says Israel’s ambassador to the US, Ron Dermer, briefed Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kurshner on Israeli diplomatic and security policy before he wrote the GOP front-runner’s speech to the AIPAC conference last month.

The report says the two held a telephone conversation days before the speech, with Dermer outlining the government position on a range of issues.

According to Haaretz, a source at the Israeli embassy in Washington confirms the two spoke by phone, saying that “the ambassador spoke to the people of all the leading presidential candidates.”
