His decision comes after Yael German, Israel’s ambassador to France, announced in late December that she was resigning in protest of the incoming administration led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has returned to power with a governing coalition described as the farthest to the right in the nation’s history.Article content
He added that Hoffman’s was a political appointment by a previous government of a different stripe, and that it is not unusual for such envoys to resign following national elections. That’s typically what happens with United States ambassadors to Canada, too, he said. “I think given the deepening and more and more complex relationship between Israel and Canada, this is significant,” said Roberts, whose organization describes itself as a Canadian voice for progressive Jewish values and Israeli-Palestinian peace.
Asked about whether Ottawa should make such a commitment, Fogel said that Canada’s relationship is with Israel and not the particular government, and that besides, the members of the coalition that “people have expressed most concern about” wouldn’t naturally fall into the bilateral dynamic with Canada.
