Israel appoints first resident ambassador to Slovenia

The Israeli government has approved Foreign Minister Gideon Saar’s proposal to appoint Ruth Cohen-Dar as Israel’s ambassador to Slovenia. Cohen-Dar will serve as Israel’s first-ever resident ambassador in Ljubljana, the Slovenian capital, marking a significant diplomatic expansion for the Jewish state in Central Europe. The appointment follows Foreign Minister Saar’s decision to establish Israel’s first permanent embassy in Slovenia, reflecting strengthening ties between the two nations. Cohen-Dar’s posting represents an upgrade from Israel’s previous non-resident representation in the country, allowing for enhanced diplomatic engagement and closer bilateral relations. The establishment of a resident embassy underscores Israel’s commitment to deepening its presence and influence in the Balkans and Central European region.
