Morgan Ortagus, the Deputy United States Special Envoy to the Middle East, in charge of Lebanon policy, will soon leave her post, a development seen as unfavorable for “Israel” due to her critical role in efforts to disarm Hezbollah, Israeli Channel 14 reported on Sunday.
In a similar context, Merav Ceren, an Israeli-American official handling the Iran portfolio, was recently dismissed, along with Eric Trager, who oversaw Middle East and North Africa affairs at the US National Security Council. Both were known as strong pro-“Israel” voices within the US administration, according to reports, wrote regional news.
The channel reported that Merav Ceren and Eric Trager were appointed under former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz but were later removed by his successor, Marco Rubio, after Waltz became the US ambassador to the UN.
Ortagus previously worked closely with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
