Ex-U.S. ambassador to head Jewish policy institute
By Raphael Ahren

Stuart Eizenstat, a lawyer and former U.S. under secretary of state, has been appointed to chair the Jewish People Policy Planning Institute in Jerusalem.

The Harvard-educated Atlanta native, who served as U.S. ambassador to the European Union from 1993 to 1996, replaces Dennis Ross, who resigned in January to join the Obama administration. Eizenstat was also president Jimmy Carter's chief domestic policy adviser, and served as deputy treasury secretary under president Bill Clinton.

"Ambassador Eizenstat's experience in public service, which spans three U.S. administrations, and his profound commitment to the Jewish people made him the best candidate for this position," commented JPPPI Director-General Avinoam Bar-Yosef.
