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 vice president and director of foreign policy at the Brookings Institution.[1] He is also a former director of Brookings' Saban Center for Middle East Policy.
Despite his well known affiliation with the Israel Lobby[2] and his Australian nationality, Bill Clinton appointed him as the first foreign-born US Ambassador to Israel in 1995. The issuance of his US nationality had been expedited for his previous appointment by Clinton in 1993 as Middle East adviser on the National Security Council. [3] Once appointed to public office Indyk ceased being a 'lobbyist', but joined the growing ranks of the Israel-First fifth column in the US. He frequently appears on CNN as a "Middle-East expert".
