Stephanie Hallett is to take the position until the U.S. Senate confirms an ambassador, following the departure of Thomas Nides.

Yuli Edelstein and Tom Nides speak about settlements, Iran and bilateral ties.

'We reject the view that Israel's actions constitute apartheid.'

The new American envoy to Israel is 'a great guy,' says former Israeli ambassador to the US Michael Oren.
