US President Joe Biden is set to name Thomas Nides as the new ambassador to Israel, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
Nides served as a senior official in the State Department under President Barack Obama, and currently serves as Managing Director and Vice Chairman of Morgan Stanley.
He “has emerged as the likely candidate for ambassador to Israel,” according to the The Washington Post.
Aaron David Miller, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and a friend of Nides, hailed the appointment as “a very smart choice.”
“Tom Nides to Israel. Full disclosure, [he is] a good friend but a very smart choice. Of the options, a career FSO; big donor; or the smart well-connected insider trusted by Biden with govt/diplomatic experience, Nides is the right move,” Miller tweeted.

Is Mr. Nides Jewish, bichlal?
I think he is Jewish, although his wife is not Jewish. His wife, Virginia Carpenter Moseley, serves as CNN’s senior vice president of newsgathering for the network’s U.S. operation. She oversees all of CNN’s breaking news coverage and domestic newsgathering for CNN’s domestic bureaus.
Nides, served as deputy to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton from 2011 to 2013. During the 2015 election season, Nides tipped the Clinton campaign off to a favorable CNN poll just before the network released the poll.
“senior official in the State Department under President Barack Obama” That’s all we need to know about the guy. Not a friend of the Jewish state.
How can Biden name anyone for ambassador if he has no power as Tucker reported this week?
he’s told what to do..
This left wing looney obama lackey who is a chazer fressing mechallel Shabbos is married to an ugly shiksa named Virginia Moseley, who is the Washington deputy bureau chief and vice president for CNN. Might as well appoint this drech as ambassador to Ghana!
Nides is a typical example of how jewish families end their branches. Sad, really.
