UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has reportedly spoken with MK (Machane Tzioni) Tzipi Livni, offering her the post of under-secretary-general, a position that requires the approval of the Security Council. If she accepts it and is approved, she will become the first Israeli to serve in the post.

Guterres know Livni from his term as President of Portugal, meeting with her in her capacity as Israel’s Foreign Minister under Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, who served between 2006-2009. Mrs. Livni met with the new UN Chief in NYC a number of weeks ago, during a one-day visit to the Big Apple.

Livni began her career as a second-generation Likud MK, the daughter of one of the ideological founding fathers. She later migrated to the Kadima Party, then heading The Movement party and finally joining Labor party which is now called Machane Tzioni.

It is rumored she plans to accept the high-level diplomatic post.
