Ruth Moatti
Israel's Youth Delegate 2019–2021
Ms. Ruth Moatti served as Israel's Youth Delegate to the United Nations from 2019 to 2021, where she was an extraordinary representative for young Israelis. In this role, she communicated the accomplishments, concerns, and aspirations of her generation to the international community. Ruth was also the CEO of the Brera Center, overseeing the work of over a hundred law students who provided legal assistance to underprivileged individuals.
An Israeli young diplomat, impact entrepreneur, and gender equality advocate, Ruth is dedicated to cultivating an impact economy that aligns financial activities with social and environmental goals. Raised in the vibrant complexity of Jerusalem, her upbringing has shaped her mission to transform Israel into an ‘Impact Nation,’ influencing her perspective on Judaism and Zionism. She majored in law and minored in international relations, honing her skills to address social injustices.
Ruth engaged in high-level diplomacy, representing Israeli youth and championing the Sustainable Development Goals. She played a pivotal role in establishing connections with youth counterparts in the UAE following the Abraham Accords and founded FemForward MENA, a program that equips talented young women from Israel and the Abraham Accords partner countries with essential tools, skills, and networks for career advancement.
As a young diplomat, Ruth participated in multiple diplomatic delegations to the U.S. and Europe, sharing the Israeli narrative with global politicians and civil society organizations. Appointed as Israel's representative in the European Student Union, she continues to protect the rights and safety of Israeli and Jewish students worldwide.
With over seven years of diverse experience across public, private, and third sectors, Ruth believes that an impact economy can unlock the transformative potential of sustainable economic development and peace in the Middle East, particularly in Israel.
"-- President Shimon Peres, of blessed memory, said that “Without a Fantasy, you cannot do fantastic things”. My fantasy is that of a world where entrepreneurship offers all, opportunities to thrive and to soar. A world where the impact nation achieves international impact. Together, we can do fantastic things. I am confident that the youth of Israel will continue to use its skills and knowledge and turn Israel into the worlds #Impact Nation --"
“-- My dream is to turn Israel into the world’s “Impact Nation”. As a young Israeli, I believe in my generation's ability and power to use its skills and knowledge for global causes and social impact. Together we can explore new ways and opportunities to make sustainability and innovation processes to go hand in hand. Technology and moral values combined. --”

About the Youth Delegate Program
Have you ever dreamed to work in the UN? Are you passionate about the youth of Israel? Has the idea of representing Israel and its youth been a dream for you but seemed so out-of-reach? If you answered yes, then you are in the right place! The Youth Delegate Program, administered by IMUNA and the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in partnership with the Israeli Youth Authority and Mifal Ha'Pais, is a program where one Israeli youth is chosen each year in order to represent the country in the United Nation's headquarters in New York and here in Israel. The program includes young people from all around the globe, who are passionate and eager regarding international relations. The delegates discuss, have meetings, and represent their nation and its youth with the aim of advocating for social justice.
Israel's youth hold a critical leadership and diplomatic role amidst the ongoing challenges facing Israel and the world today. IMUNA aims to help, develop, and empower students and young professionals to step up, and is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of leaders across various sectors. Empowering young individuals and providing them with opportunities to engage on the global stage, participate in the United Nations as well as other international forums, IMUNA strives to continue its mission with you help.
Thank you for your contribution and for being a part of our mission to cultivate a generation of empowered global citizens.
