If his past is any indication of his future, the Ambassador is headed for diplomatic fame; only 35 years old when initially awarded his position, he is distinguished as Israel’s youngest ambassador ever. In addition to his civic accomplishments, Ambassador Mansour is also an historian and is the first ever non-Jewish poet (he is Druze) to write exclusively in Hebrew. He looks forward to meeting all of the conference attendees!
