The Trump administration confirmed the appointment of Merav Ceren to the National Security Council, refuting claims that she worked for Israel’s Ministry of Defense. Ceren, a former Senate staffer with extensive experience in national security, participated in an internship related to resource management in the West Bank but was not employed by the Israeli Defense Ministry, according to a spokesperson. Her appointment coincides with ongoing US-Iran nuclear negotiations, amidst heightened tensions regarding Iran’s nuclear program and potential military actions from Israel.
