Foreign Minister Eli Cohen announces that he has tapped Rabbi Leo Dee — whose wife and two daughters were killed in a terror attack earlier this year — as a special envoy for social initiatives within the ministry.

“I thank Rabbi Dee for agreeing to volunteer for the benefit of the State of Israel,” writes Cohen on X. “I am sure that with the help of his big heart, special personality and his ability to reach everyone, he will be able to help a lot in the activities of the Foreign Affairs Ministry, in front of the Jewish communities in the world, as well as influential figures in government and the media.”
