Israel’s First Arab Diplomat Speaks at UCR Wed 4/13
Can an Arab Support Israel???? Why would he want to? Ishmael Khaldi will answer these questions and more on Wednesday, April 13th at UC Riverside. Come hear the story of Israel’s FIRST Bedouin diplomat.
Born and raised in a Bedouin village in Northern Israel, Mr. Khaldi served in the Israeli Defense Forces, Defense Ministry, and the Israeli Police before being joining the Foreign Ministry in October 2004.
During the disengagement from Gaza, Mr. Khaldi served as spokesperson to the Arab Media. He then joined the North American Division where he served as Deputy Consul General in San Francisco in 2006.
Mr. Khaldi is currently the Policy Advisor to the Foreign Minister in Israel. He says the lessons he learned as a shepherd growing up in his village have served him well in his mission as a diplomat. His unique life and historic role as an Israeli diplomat have just been published in his book titled “A Shepherd’s Journey”.
