At the time of her nomination as an ambassador to Egypt on October 29, 2018, Oron was the Foreign Ministry’s head of the Middle East Economic Relations Department. She is the second woman to serve as an Israeli ambassador in an Arab state. Einat Klein was the first when she was Israel's top diplomatic representative in Jordan. Oron served as Ambassador to Turkey from 2014 to 2016, though after the Mavi Marmara flotilla raid, “Turkey lowered the status of Israel’s ambassador to that of an embassy official.” Oron was the first female to head an embassy in Turkey. (Her title in Ankara has been given as Ambassador, head of the embassy and charges d'affaires).
