Danon Says UN Ambassadors’ Delegation Is Continuing From Poland to Israel

Israel’s permanent representative to the United Nations, Danny Danon, said Friday that a delegation of UN ambassadors was continuing to Israel after visiting Poland. He said the Israel stage would show the diplomats the challenges the country faces. “We are now continuing to Israel,” Danon said in a Hebrew post, describing the Polish visit as moving and meaningful. His announcement followed an itinerary that included Krakow’s Jewish Quarter and Auschwitz-Birkenau before the delegation’s onward travel to Israel. The delegation was organized for about 40 diplomats from 20 UN member states. The announced participants included representatives of Germany, Greece, Costa Rica, the Czech Republic, Liberia and Armenia. The planned Israel program included visits to the northern and southern borders, security briefings and meetings with senior officials. Danon began his second term as Israel’s UN ambassador in August 2024, after previously serving in the post from 2015 to 2020. Israel’s UN mission describes the program of bringing fellow ambassadors to Poland and Israel as an initiative he established during his diplomatic service.
