The Foreign Ministry is boosting its efforts to ensure that the appointment of Dani Dayan as Israel's ambassador to Brazil is approved, despite efforts by a group of leftist former ambassadors to thwart it.
Officials in the Ministry on Wednesday night approached President Reuven Rivlin, and confirmed that they received his consent to, if necessary, hold a conversation between Rivlin and Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff who has expressed reservations about Dayan’s appointment in recent days.
