Israel selects its first female ambassador to Egypt
The Foreign Ministry announces that Amira Oron has been selected to serve as Israel’s ambassador to Egypt, the first woman to hold the position.
Oron, a senior member of the ministry, has previously served in Cairo and Ankara, and headed the Foreign Ministry’s Egypt division. She currently heads the ministry’s Middle East Economic Relations Department.
If the government approves her appointment, she will replace the incumbent ambassador to Egypt, David Govrin, in the summer of 2019.
