Biden Nominates Former Treasury Secretary as Ambassador to Israel
Jacob L. Lew served as White House Chief of Staff under President Barack Obama
President Joe Biden announced Jacob L. Lew on Tuesday as his nominee to act as the ambassador to Israel.
Lew, a Democrat, served as treasury secretary from 2013 to 2017 and White House chief of staff from 2012 to 2013 under Barack Obama. He served as the director of the Office of Management and Budget under Obama and Bill Clinton.
