President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly picked “AIPAC favorite” Florida Rep Mike Waltz to serve as his National Security Advisor.
Waltz is “a favorite of the Republican Jewish Coalition and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee” and has argued that Chuck Schumer isn’t pro-Israel enough, the Israeli outlet Haaretz reports.

From Haaretz, “Trump Reportedly Taps Michael Waltz, pro-Israel Green Beret, as National Security Advisor” (Archive):
The appointment of [Florida Rep. Mike] Walz, a favorite of the Republican Jewish Coalition and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, will be viewed as a win for the hawkish neoconservative wing of the Republican Party that has advocated a peace-through-strength foreign policy ahead of any isolationism.
The Florida congressman used his remarks at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual confab in September to slam Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer for “interfering in Israel’s elections” after lamenting on the Senate floor that Netanyahu had lost his way. Waltz called Israel “the greatest ally we’ve ever known.”
Waltz additionally implied that the Biden administration forced Israel’s targeted response during its Iran strikes to exclude military targets, saying “it’s important to note what hasn’t been hit in Iran: 1. Kharg island where 80% of Iran’s oil exports funnel (but doing so would cause oil prices to spike just before the election) 2. Natanz nuclear facilities which are 200 miles outside Tehran (and Biden publicly said he didn’t support). This might be Israel’s last best chance to diminish Iran’s nuclear program and shut down their cash. Did Biden/Harris pressure Israel once again to do less than it should?”
