Israeli Government Approves Four New Ambassadors in Diplomatic Reshuffle
The Israeli government has approved Foreign Minister Gideon Saar's proposal to appoint four new ambassadors, including postings to Latvia, Honduras, Nigeria, and Cameroon.
The Israeli government has approved the appointment of four new ambassadors, including diplomatic postings to Latvia and Honduras, following a proposal by Foreign Minister Gideon Saar.
Anna Ben Ezra has been appointed as Israel's ambassador to Latvia. She previously served as a political advisor at Israel's mission to the European Union and NATO. Ido Bromberg has been named ambassador to Honduras, having formerly served as head of the human rights and international organizations department at the Foreign Ministry, as well as political advisor in Tokyo and press officer in Paris.
In addition, Barak Granot has been appointed ambassador to Nigeria, and Oshra Yosef Friedman has been named ambassador to Cameroon. Both appointments completed a multi-departmental tender process and were approved by the government.
The diplomatic posting to Honduras follows the recent normalization of ties between the two nations. Honduras previously recalled its ambassador in November 2023 following the outbreak of the war against Hamas. Relations were restored after President Asfoura assumed office, and the new Honduran ambassador presented his credentials to President Isaac Herzog in August.
