A senior figure at the U.S. Embassy in Israel is reportedly being accused of advancing Israeli policy positions over those of the U.S. administration, according to a report by The New York Times. Professional reports from within the embassy that were critical of Israel were allegedly sidelined and their wording altered to present Israel in a more favorable light to the administration.
