Former Israeli Diplomat: “We Can No Longer Defend Israel’s Actions”

DID Press: A former Israeli diplomat who previously served as a liaison between Israel’s embassy in Washington and the U.S. Congress has spoken of the growing difficulty of defending the policies of Israel’s current government.

In an article published by the Israeli newspaper Zman Yisrael, Noa Hertzel said she would not want to be in the position of serving Israeli diplomats today, arguing that the responses and justifications offered by the country’s representatives are no longer acceptable to many audiences.

Hertzel also criticised the conduct of Israel’s current government, saying its actions have reached a point where defending them has become extremely difficult for Israeli diplomats.
