An unprecedented Israeli achievement: Yotam Goren, a diplomat in Israel’s Permanent Mission to the UN, was appointed as Vice Chair of the Administrative and Budgetary Committee, the UN’s “Department of Treasury”.

Yotam Goren: "Today's achievement is a result of our efforts to include Israel in every field in the global agenda, as we strive to take on a leading role in order to best contribute to it. Despite the many obstacles Israel faces at the UN, today we witnessed tremendous support for Israel from all corners of the world. I'm proud to represent Israel in one of the UN's most important committees which serves a critical role in ensuring the efficient and productive conduct of the United nations world-wide."
