If the U.K. Foreign Office accepts Hotovely’s nomination—a diplomatic formality—she will head to London in the fall.
It is unclear at this time who will replace her as settlement affairs minister, but the most likely candidate is Minister Tzachi Hanegbi.
During his opening address at Sunday’s Cabinet meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Hotovely for her years of work in government and expressed his confidence that she would succeed in her new role.
