Israel congratulates Kelly Craft newly approved UN Ambassador

Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon congratulated Ambassador Kelly Craft on her appointment to the United Nations after the Senate confirmed her nomination.

The Senate has confirmed Kelly Craft to become the next U.S. envoy to the United Nations despite Democratic concerns about her inexperience and potential conflicts of interest.

Craft, a longtime GOP activist from Kentucky, is currently U.S. ambassador to Canada. She was confirmed 56-34, ending a more than seven-month vacancy in the key diplomatic position.

Ambassador Danon said: "We look forward to working with Ambassador craft to advance more achievements in the diplomatic sphere."
