On Tuesday, Israel’s Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, welcomed the nomination of Kelly Craft, the current U.S. Ambassador to Canada, to replace Nikki Haley at the United Nations.

“With her previous experience as part of the US delegation to the 61st General Assembly, Craft is no stranger to the United Nations,” Danon told Jewish Insider.

“I have no doubt she will continue the strong positions Ambassador Nikki Haley took and look forward to working with her to strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship,” he added.
