Israel Joins UN Development Program Executive Board
(Jerusalem Post) Gil Shefler - Israel took a seat on the executive board of the UN Development Program for the first time Thursday. "This is a milestone in Israel's integration into the global agenda of the UN," Israel's Deputy Permanent Representative Haim Waxman said. "Furthermore, this is the expression of a journey that we have taken from being a developing nation born in adversity to becoming a developed nation, a member of the OECD and now a full member of the UNDP as a representative of the West."
