The Foreign Ministry appoints Ran Gidor, who currently heads humanitarian aid to Ukraine for the ministry’s Agency for International Development Cooperation (MASHAV), as the next consul general in St. Petersburg, Russia.
He will be replacing Uri Resnick, who has been in the position for less than two years out of the usual four.
Gidor has served as ambassador in Cameroon and Georgia.
The mission in St. Petersburg is run by two diplomats. It is Israel’s only diplomatic office in Russia outside of the embassy in Moscow.
