Ammon News - The Trump administration has accepted the resignation of the US ambassador to Jordan Yael Lempert, and the US ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Michael Ratney.

All ambassadors submit their resignations when a new administration takes office, but these two were immediately accepted.

Yael Lempert assumed her position in Amman in August 2023.

Lempert is also a career diplomat and was principal deputy assistant secretary of state for near eastern affairs through May 2023. Most of her career was spent in the Middle East and North Africa.
