Netanyahu thanks outgoing US envoy for years of cooperation

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with departing US ambassador Dan Shapiro in Jerusalem, who will be leaving his post tomorrow when Trump is sworn in as president.

Netanyahu expresses his appreciation for Shapiro’s “contribution to the vital and strategic alliance between the United States and Israel,” Channel 2 says.

The diplomat, who speaks fluent Hebrew, will be staying in Israel until the summer, so that his children can complete the school year.
