Israel's envoy elected Vice President of UN General Assembly
Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, was elected vice president of the organization's 72nd General Assembly.
Danon, who was elected at the United Nations headquarters in New York as the representative of the WEOG, will assume his role this coming September when the General Assembly meets.
As part of his new role, Danon will hold meetings of the General Assembly and will take an active part in determining the agenda of the deliberations.
"I am proud to represent Israel in this important role," Danon said in response. "We have proved once again that Israel can take part in any role in the UN and the obsessive attempts to prevent Israel from winning its rightful place will not work."
