Israel’s Foreign Ministry is set to appoint its first-ever ambassador of Bedouin origin after an internal committee approved his mission in Eritrea, Hebrew media reported Sunday.
Ishmael Khaldi, 49, has made history before, serving as the Jewish state’s first Bedouin diplomat.
In 2006, he served in Israel’s mission in San Francisco as Deputy Consul-General before becoming an advisor to ex-foreign minister Avigdor Lieberman in 2009.
