Israel's government officially approved the appointment of Tzachi Braverman, the outgoing PMO chief of staff, as the newest ambassador to the UK on Sunday.
Tzipi Hotovely ended her five-year term as Israel's ambassador to the UK on Monday.
Braverman's appointment was approved by the Appointments Committee of the Civil Service Commission on Monday. However, the process takes several months, and Braverman will most likely not arrive in London until November.
Born in Tel Aviv on March 7, 1959, Braverman served in the IDF as a liaison training officer in the IDF's 460th Bnei Or Brigade, and later obtained a law degree from Bar-Ilan University. He was a spokesperson for the Ness Ziona municipality and CEO of Ness Ziona’s educational and cultural institutions. He also served as Israeli Cabinet Secretary from 2016 to 2021.
