PM Netanyahu on Gilad Erdan's appointment as Israel's ambassador to the U.S., as well as the UN: "There is no doubt that the UN and the US are our most important international arenas. We are sending you there with high expectations and with the knowledge that we will be challenged there. We rely on you that you will do the work there. I think the fact that you acted against BDS gives you the redoubled energy and the redoubled experience for this action. This arena will be challenging. We see what is happening in the international court in The Hague, a biased court that delegitimizes Israel. More than once, you expressed the willingness and confidence that you could strongly represent the State of Israel both with the necessary vigor and the arguments required in these areas."
