The Leftists in Germany might be glad that Ric Grenell is leaving his Berlin post. But Israeli diplomats say he will be sorely missed.

Via Jerusalem Post.

The departure of US ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell this week prompted a wave of accolades for his diplomatic work from important Israeli ambassadors based in continental Europe.

Grenell’s robust diplomacy to advance human freedom will be deeply missed in Europe. He served as US president Donald Trump’s go-to ambassador for the continent. Within a mere two years, he quickly earned kudos as a “force of nature” who secured diplomatic results.

For example, Germany’s designation of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization last month.

    Thanks for sharing this Shifra; I did not know about that but am not surprised to see he was doing such a good job in his ambassador role in Germany.

Still, I hope he will soon go on to something else at least as big as what he was doing there, if not bigger.
