In this episode, Esti Zenati interviews Dr. Yechiel Leiter, the 21st Israeli Ambassador to the United States. Ambassador Leiter reflects on his return to public service after the tragic loss of his son, Major Moshe Leiter, who was killed leading IDF forces into Gaza on November 10, 2023. He outlines his key goals as ambassador, including defending Israel’s legitimacy during a seven-front war, strengthening bipartisan U.S. support, and uniting the diverse American Jewish community. The conversation also touches on the May 21st shooting of two Israeli diplomats, Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky, and the following security warning from the FBI to the Jewish and Israeli community in the US. Through personal stories and sharp insight, Ambassador Leiter offers a moving portrait of resilience, purpose, and leadership shaped by personal loss.
