The influential conservative pro-Israel leader, Morton Klein, says he's deeply concerned to read a CNN report that former Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison is the leading contender to be the U.S. ambassador to NATO.
Klein, who leads the conservative Zionist Organization of America, is close to Republican and pro-Trump mega-donor Sheldon Adelson. Klein tells me the Trump administration gave assurances to his associates that the NATO post would go to the former U.S. spokesman at the United Nations, Richard Grenell.
"Ric Grenell is a very strong supporter of Israel...He understands the reality of the Arab-Islamic war against Israel, and I know he has strong feelings, if he were to become the ambassador to NATO, to push to have Israel to become a member of the [UN] Security Council," Klein said.
