Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has announced that Israel ambassador to the UK, Ron Prosor, will move to the United Nations, filling the slot of Prof. Gabriella Shalev, who announced she is stepping down to return to the academic world. The announcement was made by Israel Radio, not an official Foreign Ministry announcement to the media.

The change is expected to take place in August and it will most likely lead to a number of new diplomatic appointments.
