Lanny Davis.jpgLanny Davis, the high-profile lawyer, lobbyist, columnist, commentator and Democratic insider, has a new gig -- he's signed on as a volunteer senior adviser and spokesperson for The Israel Project, the international nonprofit that provides information to the media and the public about the Middle East. Davis also has close ties to incoming Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton -- he was special counsel to President Clinton from 1996 to 1998 and was a major supporter of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

At TIP, Davis joins another member of the far-flung Clinton network -- strategic communications specialist Jennifer Laszlo Mizrahi. She founded the 501(c)(3) in 2002 (and is still its president), and has built it into a major player among independent groups that focus on the region. With offices in Washington and Jerusalem, Mizrahi says TIP "does not speak on behalf of the Israeli government" and that Davis will appear on U.S. and international media outlets as a private citizen and "will be speaking independently only for himself."

With the war in Gaza at the top of the news, Davis says, his role is to help get "all the facts out as soon as possible -- to help correct misinformation and misstatements in the media." That's a role he has long projected in domestic politics even as he has continued to represent clients as a partner at the firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe.

Lanny will definitely do a great job with this. He has plenty of experience that is needed in this job. The middle east is such a tricky subject. Keep up the good work.
