Foreign Ministry appoints Naor Gilon as Israel's ambassador to Rome
None
The Foreign Ministry's nominations committee has decided to appoint Naor Gilon to be Israel's ambassador to Rome.
The Foreign Ministry's nomination for Israel's new ambassador to Italy stirred up a frenzy in the Diplomatic Corp, as the ministry's nominations' committee's ethics was called into question last week following a petition filed by a senior female ministry employee – who was also in the running – claiming Gilon's choice was gender-biased.
