Times of Israel – As a brief humanitarian ceasefire came to an end in Israel on Thursday, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer took to the Twitterverse to engage in a open question-and-answer session that boosted the hashtag #AskDermer to a number one trending rank in the US Thursday morning. Dermer faced a barrage of questions critical to Israel, but aides emphasized that the diplomat, who has been in office for under a year, views social media as critical to Israel’s public relations effort.
Dermer’s first questioner, who identified as Tauseef Hassan, asked the ambassador “how can Israel drop a bomb exactly on a house knowing who is inside but it can’t tell 4people playing soccer on a beach are kids?”
