As you can see from the video, I have been appointed as chief executive of the portland trust, a fantastic ngo dedicated to promoting peace and stability between palestinians and israelis through economic development. A great deal of what I have done before, in economic development, finance, leadership and diplomacy, in israel and oman, does seem to have led me to this exceptional opportunity. It's an honour and a privilege to take the wheel and work with our friends and colleagues in ramallah, tel aviv, washington, london, europe and around the world. Stable and peaceful coexistence for israelis and palestinians was a challenge of the last century. It remains a challenge today, and one close to my heart. I will do all I can to make a positive difference.
