SELON I24NEWS. « Yaël German avait été nommée à ce poste en août 2021 et est connue pour ses positions très à gauche. Selon le journal Maariv, Yaël German a confié qu’elle démissionnerait et rentrerait en Israël lorsque le gouvernement Netanyahou serait en place, ce qui devrait se produire dans les prochains jours. Elle a notamment affirmé qu’elle n’était pas intéressée par le fait de représenter « un gouvernement d’extrême droite, dans lequel Itamar Ben-Gvir est ministre. »
« L’ambassadrice prendra sa décision après la prestation de serment du gouvernement », a écrit son bureau.
