"Sharansky recommended that former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, then planning a political comeback, meet with Dermer.
Dermer has been advising Netanyahu ever since and is one of his closest confidantes"
"Dermer helped negotiate a 38 billion dollar military aid package with the US, the largest military aid deal of its kind ever."
"December 2016 Dermer was criticized for accepting an award from the Center for Security Policy, a conservative think tank led by Frank Gaffney, which was designated as a hate group by the Southern Policy Law Center.
The SPLC encouraged Dermer to decline the award because it "not only further legitimizes this organization, but could be read as an endorsement of anti-Muslim hate by the Israeli government."
"In 1996 he moved to Israel, and in 1997, he began the process of becoming an Israeli citizen.
On August 9, 1998, Dermer married artist Adi Blumberg, the daughter of the chairman of the Bank of Jerusalem, who had grown up in the Old City of Jerusalem. The wedding was presided over by Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz.
Adi Blumberg died in February 2000."
'Dermer visited the NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio and helped organize, alongside New England Patriots owner
Robert Kraft, an NFL Hall of Fame trip to Israel (2015),"
