US envoy says every day at Jerusalem embassy ‘a singular experience’
US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman says that even five months later, “every single day that I get up and go to work at the US Embassy in Jerusalem is a singular experience.”
The US Embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on May 14.
“It never gets old. It’s never routine, it isn’t ever taken for granted,” the ambassador says at the Christian Media Summit. “Not a day goes by in which I don’t thank God for the privilege for the privilege of serving as US ambassador in his Holy City.”
He also says that Nikki Haley, who announced last week she would step down as the US Ambassador to the UN, is the best envoy to the world body in the nation’s history.
