Martin Indyk

Martin S. Indyk is a veteran lobbyist for Israel, the founding director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy and the current director of the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution. Despite his well known affiliation with the Israel Lobby and his Australian nationality, he was appointed by Bill Clinton as the US Ambassador to Israel (the issuance of his US nationality was expedited for the appointment). Once appointed to public office he ceased being a "lobbyist", but joined the growing ranks of the Israel-First fifth column in the U.S.. He frequently appears on CNN as a "Middle-East expert".
