The failed electoral run by the nascent New Right party that recruited popular Anglo journalist Carolyn Glick has left her with all options open, including a possible future as Israel’s next Ambassador to the United Nations, according to some media reports.
Glick is reportedly on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s short list of those being considered for the post.
An immigrant to Israel from the United States, Glick spent decades working as a columnist and editor for The Jerusalem Post.
A resident of the Gush Etzion city of Efrat, she is well-known in Anglo communities across the country and abroad for her strong advocacy on behalf of legal reform and application of Israeli civil law to Area C.
“As a writer, I was heartened beyond belief when, at the end of the campaign, Netanyahu talked about apply Israeli law to Judea and Samaria,” Glick told The Jerusalem Post in an interview.
“I would feel even more vindicated if the Trump plan won’t call for two states – after 19 years of writing – so we won’t go back on the merry-go-round from Elm Street. Nothing is more vindicating than what I wrote in 2013 being adopted in 2019 by the leaders of Israel and the United States.”
Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Danon, concludes his term in office this year.
