Simcha Dinitz
Simcha Dinitz was the Israeli ambassador to Washington D.C.
Simcha Dinitz was the Israeli ambassador to Washington, D.C. During the 1973 Yom Kippur War, he made a series of urgent telephone calls to Henry A. Kissinger, then Secretary of State, focusing on the need for resupply for the Israeli military. Dinitz's insistence on a one-on-one meeting with Kissinger, where he reportedly conveyed Golda Meir's willingness to come to the United States personally to plead for arms aid, was described by Kissinger as potentially "hysteria or blackmail."1
