Moshe Arad (15 August 1934 – October 25, 2019) was a former ambassador from Israel to Mexico (1983–1987) and an ambassador from Israel to the United States (1987–1990).[1] He emigrated to Israel in 1950.
While Israel's Ambassador to the United States, he accused the group Al-Haq of being a front for Yasser Arafat’s PLO and stated that "most of its members are supporters of Fatah and other members of the PLO terrorist organization."[2]
Arad served on the board of the Israel Council on Foreign Relations.[3] He was the father of Michael Arad, the designer of the World Trade Center Memorial, and Odelia Sidi.
