JERUSALEM, Jul 02, 2009 (Xinhua via COMTEX) -- The Israel Atomic Energy Commission released Thursday a formal statement on behalf of the Israeli government, welcoming the UN's choice of Japanese ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Yukiya Amano for the next IAEA director general.

"The State of Israel has every faith in ambassador Amano's capabilities and trusts in his ability to head this important agency and its challenges," said the statement.

Israel will lend Amano whatever help he needs to succeed in his new position, it added.

Earlier on Thursday, after fierce competition, 61-year-old Amano finally won the necessary majority votes to be the next IAEA director general.

The IAEA General Assembly in September will discuss and probably approve Amano as the new director general. He will officially succeed the current IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei on Dec. 1.
