Founder of Blackwater has deep ties to Israel

"U.S. businessman Erik Prince – who has just been accused of trying to set up a back-channel for communications between the Trump administration and Russia – has deep Israeli connections as well, including business dealings with Ari Harow, the disgraced former bureau chief to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu." "With various people now touting Prince for a Senate run (including Steve Bannon), his Israeli ties could prove significant." (thanks Amir)
