President Joe Biden has unveiled the nomination of former Secretary of the Treasury Jacob Lew to serve as his next U.S. ambassador to Israel, the White House announced on Tuesday.

Mr. Lew, a New York attorney who served as Treasury secretary for President Barrack Obama from 2013 until the administration’s conclusion, would succeed Ambassador Tom Nides, who bid the position farewell over the summer after serving the role for two years.
