Israel's ambassador to Washington has announced his intention to resign just two years into the job.
In a statement, Sallai Meridor says that given the sensitive nature of the position, "it is fitting" that Israel's incoming government appoint an envoy of its choosing as ambassador to Washington.
He said he would return to Israel "in the near future," after his replacement arrives.
But in his statement, Meridor said he informed current Israeli leaders on Monday of his intention to end his term of service.
Meridor was appointed to the job in October 2006.
