Earlier this evening, Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren visited Congregation Beth Elohim in Park Slope, where the New York-born diplomat touted Israel’s diversity, economic growth and its relationship with the United States. Despite being repeatedly pestered on the current election between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, Mr. Oren strenuously avoided taking sides.
“I’m so not going to answer that question!” he declared when first asked about the effective difference between Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama when it came to foreign policy in the region. The crowd laughed and cheered.
