The Israeli government voted unanimously on Sunday to approve Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar's proposal to appoint Ruth Cohen-Dar as the country's first resident ambassador to Slovenia, based in Ljubljana. The move formalizes the opening of a permanent embassy in Slovenia, upgrading from the previous non-resident ambassador arrangement.
The Israeli government's unanimous approval on Sunday formalizes the appointment of Ruth Cohen-Dar as the first resident ambassador to Slovenia, a position that will be based in the capital Ljubljana. The move comes after the government earlier decided to open a permanent embassy in Slovenia, as The Zioneer reported earlier today. Until now, Israel operated in Slovenia through a non-resident ambassador. The upgrade in diplomatic representation reflects the warming ties between the two countries, following the election of a right-wing government in Ljubljana that has reversed several anti-Israel policies of the previous administration, including the recognition of a Palestinian state and an arms embargo.
