Treason in the U.S. Embassy: U.S. Diplomat Suppressed and Altered Reports Critical of Israel
By LauraAboli
TREASON IN THE U.S. EMBASSY IN ISRAEL:
David Milstein, a top aide to Ambassador Mike Huckabee, covered up Israeli killings of American citizens and falsified embassy reports about Israeli settler violence.
“Since taking up his post in April 2025, Mr. Milstein, 36, has repeatedly suppressed or significantly revised embassy reporting on Israeli activities to present the Netanyahu government in a favorable light.”
“Soon after arriving in Jerusalem, Mr. Milstein began insisting on approving communications from the embassy section that handles Palestinian affairs,”
“As settler violence in the West Bank surged in the spring, for instance, he stymied embassy reporting suggesting that the Israeli government was failing to take action,”
“When members of Congress pushed for accountability over the killings of Palestinian Americans by Israeli settlers and security forces, he suppressed a detailed report that the embassy staff had written, effectively stonewalling lawmakers’ efforts to gain information,”
People who interact with Mr. Milstein professionally “say he goes to unusual lengths to frame Israel in a positive light. He has blocked reporting from being sent, rewritten cables to deliver a different — sometimes opposite — message from the original, and delayed approving drafts until the topic was no longer relevant, these officials said.”
“Mr. Milstein also questioned several colleagues on whether they were “pro-Israel” or “pro-Hamas,” according to four officials,”
Mr. Milstein is the stepson of the right-wing radio host Mark Levin, a close ally of both President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
