“Zack has sophisticated knowledge of the US legislative and political system at the local and national levels. His work with one of the three most influential lobbies in Congress has given him high value skills, experience and contacts. I would unreservedly recommend him for consultation work on political/legislative matters as well as a fascinating speaker on these themes. He also has considerable expertise on Israel, the Middle-East and related foreign policy issues such as aid and counter terrorism.”
