Ron Dermer, who played a key role in managing Israel's relationship with the United States, has officially stepped down from his government position. For nearly three years, Dermer acted as Israel's de facto foreign minister, overseeing critical diplomatic efforts and leading negotiations for the release of hostages. In his resignation letter to Prime Minister Netanyahu, Dermer expressed admiration for the prime minister but noted that the government's legacy would be shaped by the events of October 7. His departure marks the end of an influential era in Israel's foreign policy.
