U.N. confirms top U.S. Middle East diplomat to take U.N. post Posted 2012/06/11 at 5:51 pm EDT UNITED NATIONS, June 11, 2012 (Reuters) — The United Nations confirmed on Monday that Jeffrey Feltman, untilrecently the top U.S. diplomat for the Middle East, will soon takeup a senior post at the United Nations.
U.N. spokesman Martin Nesirky said Feltman would replace AmericanLynn Pascoe as U.N. under-secretary-general for political affairs,a key position at the world body. He will be the highest-rankingU.S. official in the U.N.
secretariat. Feltman "brings to the position over 26 years of political anddiplomatic experience within the United States Foreign Service,mostly handling Eastern European and Middle Eastern affairs," theU.N. press office said in a statement. In his new position, Feltman will help to formulate U.N. policy innegotiations on the Middle East peace process and other conflictsand to oversee U.N.
mediation efforts. Feltman is expected to takeup the post this summer. The U.S. State Department said last month that Feltman would retirefrom the U.S. government.
Feltman has extensive experience in the Middle East, having servedas U.S. ambassador to Lebanon, as head of the Coalition ProvisionalAuthority's office in Iraq's Irbil province and as a seniorofficial at the U.S. consulate general in Jerusalem. Earlier in his career, Feltman - who speaks French, Arabic andHungarian - worked at the U.S.
embassies in Israel, Tunisia,Hungary and Haiti. As assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs, aposition he assumed on an acting basis in December 2008, Feltmanhas covered one of the most strategically important areas of theworld during a particularly volatile period. His tenure included the "Arab Spring" of uprisings that broughtdown authoritarian rulers in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya as well asthe conflict in Syria, where President Bashar al-Assad has soughtto crush rebels trying to topple him. Despite having made Israeli-Palestinian peace a priority, U.S.President Barack Obama has little to show for his efforts more thanthree years into his term. Direct responsibility for this issuerested first with former special envoy George Mitchell and sincewith his successor, David Hale.
