The cabinet approves the appointment of Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis as the next consul-general in New York.
The Likud lawmaker will be replaced by Gila Gamliel, whose Intelligence Ministry was recently shuttered.
The position of New York consul-general has remained unfilled since Asaf Zamir announced his resignation last March over the government’s contentious judicial overhaul.
