Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked his ambassador in Washington, Michael Herzog, to extend his three-year term until US president-elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20, the Prime Minister’s Office says.

Netanyahu will announce a new envoy tomorrow, his office says.

“The Prime Minister thanked Ambassador Herzog for his work over the last three years, and for his significant professional contribution, especially during a challenging war period,” says the PMO.
