US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapira met with Rishon L’Tzion Rabbi Yitzchak Yosef Shlita. The ambassador arrived at the chief rabbi’s office. They discussed the negotiations between Israel and the PA (Palestinian Authority) being brokered by the United States.

The ambassador met earlier with Chief Ashkenazi Rabbi David Lau Shlita. Rav Lau called on the US to show mercy and release Jonathan Pollard.

For those who are unaware, the ambassador is fluent in Hebrew; hence no interpreter was required for the meetings.
