As most of you by now know, Facebook has recently made big changes to how users see content from publishers like Mondoweiss.

Jordana Cutler, who is currently the Chief of Staff at the Israeli embassy in Washington DC, and a longtime advisor to Netanyahu, has been named as head of policy and communications at Facebook’s Israel office.
