Israel’s British Ambassador Will Represent Jewish State at U.N.
Ron Prosor, Israel’s ambassador to Britain, has been appointed as the Jewish state’s ambassador to the United Nations.
Prosor, a former director of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, was approved Sunday by the Israeli Cabinet. He has held diplomatic positions in Bonn and Washington.
Prosor succeeds Gabriela Shalev, who left the post more than six months ago. Meron Reuben has been filling the slot since August.
No replacement has been named for the London envoy position.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
— Joel Brown, Forward board chair
