Shortly after completing his course in the “Foreign Ministry's Tzoarim”, Yotam Goren found himself on the frontline of Israeli foreign policy at the UN. His work is not limited to only defending the Israeli position on issues familiar to us, but he also works in promoting economic and cultural marketing tools: The “Israeli mind” and entrepreneurial spirit.

 Goren is the Israeli representative of the UN fifth Committee, which deals with the management and distribution of the organization's budget, including funding peacekeeping forces. Goren was Recently appointed as head of a Committee of Conferences – which is the committee that oversees the UN Department biggest logistics center, which deals for example with placing 600 translators who work at the United Nations and also deals with the supervision of the United Nation’s ongoing operations. In other words, Goren  is responsible for the agenda of the United Nations and logistically, he is responsible for the agenda of the General Assembly. It is a position of control that Israel has never been in before.

Goren was born in Israel, but as a child he moved with his parents to the United States, where he spend his adolescent age and acquired an academic education. He then returned to Israel to serve in the army, and after his release started training in a course led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Early on in his career, the Foreign Ministry sent Goren to represent Israel at the UN headquarters in New York. Even among his fellow UN Fifth Committee Goren is considered quite young, but he does not get excited about it, and excels at learning something new every day. Goren’s power is particularly evident in the UN's budget committee, which manages the funds that derive from 193 member States. All the states are part of the 5th committee and its job is to fund the decisions made by the UN, usually by means of alliances between the different countries.
