“18 months after committee approval, Amira Oron finally okayed by government as Israel’s ambassador to Egypt,” it read.

It took 29 years, including a long delay following her initial nomination while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mulled installing Likud lawmaker Ayoub Kara in the post instead, but in 2020 the prediction came true.
