After renewing ties with Bolivia last month, Israel approves the nomination of an ambassador to the country.
According to the Foreign Ministry, the government unanimously approves the nomination of Gali Dagan, the Israeli ambassador to Peru, to also serve as the non-resident ambassador to Bolivia.
The appointment will remain in place until Israel opens its embassy in Bolivia and appoints a fixed ambassador to the country, the Foreign Ministry says.
Israel and Bolivia announced the resumption of diplomatic ties a month ago, after La Paz severed ties with Jerusalem in October 2023 over the Gaza war.
Bolivian President Rodrigo Paz Pereira, a centrist/conservative politician, won election in October 2025 and took office in November, marking a significant political shift for the country and paving the way for the resumption of ties.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
