Netanyahu won’t renew UN envoy Danon’s term – report

Channel 12 reports that Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon is leaving his post — today.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly decided not to extend Danon’s appointment, and made the decision on the very last day of Danon’s term, which is today.

Danon, a longtime Likud activist and former science minister, has served as Israel’s envoy to the world body since October 2015.

There is no immediate confirmation of the report from either Netanyahu’s office or Danon himself.
