Ambassador Ron Prosor

Ambassador Ron Prosor served as Israel’s 16th Permanent Representative to the United Nations from June 2011 to October 2015. During his tenure, he was elected to the position of Vice President of the UN’s 67th General Assembly.

With more than two decades of experience in Foreign Service, Mr. Prosor has carved out an international reputation as one of Israel’s most distinguished diplomats. Before his position at the UN, he served for nearly four years as Israel’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom. He also served as the Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs during the challenging Israeli disengagement from Gaza and the Second Lebanon War.

A prolific writer and commentator, Mr. Prosor’s op-eds have appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Foreign Policy, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune and more. Mr. Prosor has also made regular appearances in international media outlets including CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, BBC and others.

Ambassador Prosor addresses the enormous political, military, economic and cultural challenges Israel faces on the front lines of both the international and the national arenas. He tells the astonishing story of Israel’s transformation from the “Jaffa Oranges Nation” to the “Start-up Nation” and reveals the “secret ingredients” that enabled this remarkable revolution of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Ambassador Prosor’s previous overseas positions in the Foreign Service have included roles in Washington, London and Bonn. Prosor was instrumental in establishing diplomatic relations behind the Iron Curtain following the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. He was also a member of Israel’s delegation to the Wye River Summit talks in 1998. As an officer in the Artillery Corps of the Israeli Defense Force, Mr. Prosor attained the rank of Major and is a graduate of the IDF Battalion Commanders training program.

He holds a master's degree in Political Science from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, graduating with distinction.
