Guide To Political Appointees

Barometer of the current administration’s attitude to Israel, Iran, and the rest of the Middle East.

Many have generated great concern, and many great hope. This seeks to define and make known what category each appointee falls in.

Grading System:

Code Green is for appointees that have a history of strong support for Israel and its many challenges, and have taken stances against antisemitism.

Code Yellow is for appointees who may have problematic ties, but we do not have enough information to conclude whether they are actively supporting organizations or individuals that are counter to American and Israeli interests.

Code Red is for appointees that have either taken action or support individuals or organizations that are involved in antisemitism, Iran, terror organizations, or other concerning actions.

Code White is for appointees that do not have enough public information to be placed in any above category.
