First, you have to join the Diplomatic Core. There, the only prerequisites are an academic degree of any type - not necessarily in political science, and passing the Foreign Service Exams (which, include SAT type questions , general knowledge, and simulated scenarios).

Those are just the prerequisites. Then, if you serve long enough, most likely, one can become an ambassador starting in a small country and moving on to other countries.

On top of objective qualifications (language proficiency and general knowledge of the country), it helps to have a good sense of humor a thick skin for when your country is being unjustly attacked.

Let's agree on the irrefutable facts: 1. Judean Samaria (aka the West Bank), is the cradle of Jewish civilization. 2. Until 1967, the West Bank was annexed by Jordan, and for "some reason," no Palestinian state was established. 3. Israel's possession of the West Bank came as a result of self defense in 1967. 4. Former PMs Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert, offered the Palestinians practically all of this land, to no avail. 5. Israel completely withdrew from Gaza, which did not bring peace, but a Hamas rule which terrorizes Israel. 6. If the Palestinian leadership would agree on a compromise which would include historic reconciliation, peaceful coexistence, and security, there would have been peace long ago.

I welcome any and all questions, but can only type so fast.

Israel has never used any chemical weapons. Any accusations to the contrary are baseless and serve as a political tool against us.
