Sarah Weiss Maudi will represent the Western Europe and Others Group (WEOG) of countries on the Sixth Committee — the primary forum for the consideration of legal questions in the General Assembly.
She will be the first Israeli woman to serve in this position.
Israel’s UN Ambassador Gilad Erdan welcomes Weiss Maudi’s appointment, calling it “an important achievement that also has a direct connection to the peace agreements we have signed and shows the potential for Israel to influence the organization.”
