Prime Minister Netanyahu thanked Minister Ardan and said he expects to continue their cooperation in the coming years on the important tasks of the State of Israel. Minister Arden will continue to serve as a minister in the government until his appointment as ambassador to the government.

It was a rare appointment and an ambassador for both the UN and Washington. In the past, this happened once when on May 28, 1950, at the age of 35, Father Stone was appointed Israeli ambassador to the United States, while also holding the position of ambassador to the United Nations (held in both positions until the summer of 1959). ). In that capacity, he also tried to persuade Albert Einstein to become President of the State of Israel.

As a Washington ambassador for the past few years, Danny Danon has served. Washington's ambassador to office is Ron Dramer, one of Netanyahu's most prominent associates who has been a key axis in the tightening relationship with the US administration, which helped President Trump's line of pro-Israel measures, most notably the move of the US embassy to Jerusalem.

Netanyahu's headache will now be reduced to the distribution of files within the Likud, ahead of the swearing-in of the new government with blue and white this Thursday. The candidates for replacing Arden in the Ministry of Public Security are Ministers Amir Ohana and Miri Regev.
