Dan Shapiro, who served as U.S. ambassador to Israel under the Obama administration, has departed the Biden administration’s team on Iran after seven months as a special government employee and part-time senior adviser.
Shapiro, who was largely regarded as the “Israel whisperer” on U.S. Special Envoy Rob Malley’s team due to his deep understanding of the U.S.-Israel relationship, is the latest high-profile departure from Malley’s team.
