Government approves appointments of four new ambassadors to Israel

In depth

The government approved a proposal by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar to appoint four new ambassadors for Israel. As part of the decision, the appointment of Anna Ben Ezra as Israel's ambassador to Latvia and the appointment of Ido Bromberg as ambassador to Honduras were approved. Two further appointments, of Barak Granot to Nigeria and Yosef Friedman to Cameroon, were approved separately through an inter-ministerial tender track.

Honduras' new president led the renewal of relations with Israel, and as a result his country returned its ambassador to Jerusalem. The decision on the appointment of the ambassador to Honduras follows from this.

The appointments join a series of new ambassador appointments abroad. The decision was announced at the beginning of the week and approved at the government meeting.
