The government approved today (Wednesday) four new ambassadorial appointments to Latvia, Honduras, Nigeria, and Cameroon. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar brought to the government's approval the appointment of Anna Ben Ezra as ambassador to Latvia and Ido Bromberg as ambassador to Honduras. The two additional appointments, to Nigeria and Cameroon, were approved separately through an inter-ministerial tender process. The appointment in Honduras comes amid the renewal of relations between the countries, after the left-wing government of former President Xiomara Castro recalled its ambassador from Israel in November 2023. Honduras' new president, Nasry Asfura, visited Jerusalem in January even before taking office, and in the first minutes of his tenure received the credentials of the Israeli ambassador. The Honduran embassy has been operating in Jerusalem since 2021.
