IMMIGRATION

MIDDLE EAST
Two months after stepping down as former President Barack Obama's ambassador to Israel, Dan Shapiro sees some good in the initial peace efforts by the new Trump administration, even as he voices grievances against it.

NOMINEES
The Senate narrowly confirms Trump's nominee for ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, an outspoken bankruptcy lawyer aligned with the Israeli right.
