description: "Yoram Ben-Zeev is an Israeli diplomat and former Israeli ambassador to Germany. Born in the Palestine Mandate on 20 July 1944—the date of the attempted assassination of Adolf Hitler, a fact described as symbolic by Ulrich W. Sahm of haGalil—he served as a lieutenant in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the 1967 Six-Day War, in which he was wounded. He subsequently obtained a BA (1970) in international relations and took graduate studies (1972) in Middle Eastern studies and political science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. After some years working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and in embassies in Manila and Hong Kong, he was adviser to the president from 1987 to 1993. After this he took on diplomat roles involving the Middle East and North America, before he was appointed Israeli ambassador to Germany in 2007, replacing Shimon Stein. He said one of his goals of his ambassadorship is to deepen relations between Israel and the European Union, and to improve relations with the German public—the European peoples most critical of Israel according to surveys. He is married to Iris and has three children."
