The Forward reports: “President Trump chose as the deputy chairwoman of the intelligence advisory board a Jewish national security expert who is well known in the pro-Israel national security community.
“Samantha Ravich was named to the board, which helps shape intelligence policy, on Tuesday.
“Ravich, a former deputy national security adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney, is a senior adviser to the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, an influential hawkish pro-Israel think tank. She is also a senior adviser to the Chertoff Group, founded by Michael Chertoff, a Homeland Security secretary in the George W. Bush administration, and has worked with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. One of her specialties is combating extremists.
[The Washington Institute for Near East Policy was founded by AIPAC. Some information about Michael Chertoff is here. See this for information about FDD.]
“She has also worked with the pro-Israel community helping to raise money for Israel Bonds.
“Ravich does not require confirmation.
“Also Tuesday, Jeffrey Gunter, a dermatologist from Los Angeles, was nominated as the ambassador to Iceland. Gunter, a board member of the Republican Jewish Coalition, must be confirmed by the U.S. Senate.”
