40 ex-Brazilian diplomats oppose Israeli envoy pick
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA group of 40 retired Brazilian diplomats sign a statement against Israel’s appointment of former settler leader Dani Dayan as ambassador in Brasilia.
The career diplomats believe that protocol was bypassed since it was not preceded by any communication with the Brazilian Foreign Ministry or any presentation of Dayan’s credentials for an agreement on the appointment.
“We consider it unacceptable. The rupture of the diplomatic practice seems to have been on purpose,” the retired diplomats write in the statement dated Friday. “We support the Brazilian Government’s position on this issue and wish that the current episode is quickly overcome, so we can, together, strengthen the bonds between the two countries.”
