Ambassador Dan Gillerman, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations, accepted the Diplomat Leader Award. He is the first Israeli representative to serve as vice president of the General Assembly in 53 years, since Abba Eban held the position in 1952. Gillerman previously served as CEO of several Israeli companies and is the first person from the private sector that Israel has appointed as ambassador to the U.N.
"We respect your freedom, your bravery, your values — we feel that we have a lot in common," Gillerman said.
Mazal Tov Danny. May this be just the beginning of a long path of defending Israel and Justice.
