Isi Yanouka
Yitzhak ”Isi” Yanouka is the Israeli Ambassador to Cameroon.[1]
He served as Ambassador to the Ivory Coast,[2] concurrent in Togo, Benin and Burkina Faso, from 2013 until 2016. In 2010, the Angolan government refused to receive openly gay Yanouka as the new ambassador due to his sexuality.[3]
Yanouka married his husband, Rabbi Mikie Goldstein, in the 1990s,[2] making him the first same sex spouse of an Israeli envoy.[4]
