Israeli Ambassador to the UN Danny Danon congratulated Wax, saying that his appointment marked the latest in a long line of achievements Israel had made in recent years and comprised a vote of confidence in Israel by dozens of countries around the world.
Wax is a graduate of the University of Leeds. Prior to joining the Foreign Ministry in 2015, he served in a number of business positions in Israel. He completed the Foreign Ministry's demanding cadet course for diplomats in June 2016 and has been a delegate with Israel's UN Mission since August 2016.
