Michael Oren is Israeli ambassador to the United States. He was appointed ambassador by Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu on May 3 2009 and had to give up his United States citizenship in order to assume the post.[1]
Previously he was a professor at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and a distinguished fellow at the Shalem Center in Jerusalem.[2]
Following Israel's incursion into Gaza in December 2009, Oren was called up as an IDF reservist to do public relations work.[3]
On 4 January 2009 he co-authored a Los Angeles Times opinion article on the conflict with Yossi Klein Halevi, a senior fellow at the Adelson Institute for Strategic Studies of the Shalem Center. His role with the IDF was not mentioned in the piece.[4]
