Vivian Aisen appointed new ambassador to Colombia as Israel strengthens ties with Latin America
The appointment is part of Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s efforts to renew and restore relations between Israel and Colombia amid warming ties between Israel and Latin American countries
Assessment
Israel is signaling a strategic push into Latin America by naming Vivian Aisen as ambassador to Colombia. The appointment comes under Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar’s directive to repair and rebuild bilateral ties with Colombia, a relationship that has faced strain in recent years. This move reflects a broader Israeli effort to strengthen diplomatic and economic connections across the region. The key question is whether Colombia’s government will reciprocate this overture and what concrete steps will follow.
