Ronen Krausz, the Director of the Eurasia Division at Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has been appointed as the new Israeli ambassador to Azerbaijan.

Israeli government has unanimously approved 12 nominees for ambassadorial and consular positions abroad, Caliber.Az reports via Israeli media.

These appointments were recommended by the committee responsible for selecting heads of foreign missions and personally presented by Israel's Foreign Minister, Gideon Sa'ar.

The outgoing ambassador, George Deek, has served as the State of Israel's Ambassador to the Republic of Azerbaijan since November 2019.
