Danny Dayan, who was supposed to have become Israel’s ambassador to Brazil, has been appointed as the new Consul General to New York City.
Because of Dayan’s former connection with the Yesha Settlement Council Brazil rejected the appointment and would not accept Dayan’s credentials. After a drawn out political battle Israel backed down, realizing Brazil was not going to change its position.
As such, Dayan will replace Ido Aaroni who is leaving the post.
