Editor’s Note: It’s not easy to be the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Israel’s most important ally. The U.S. relationship with Israel is so deep and broad that an ambassador’s job is difficult, complicated, relentless, and at times overwhelming. Martin Indyk provides his take of the state of the U.S.-Israeli relationship in his Foreign Affairs review of former ambassador of Israel to the United States Michael Oren’s new book, “Ally: My Journey Across the American-Israeli Divide.”
