OTTAWA — Israel's ambassador to Canada says he intends to leave his post early after a change in government back at home as protests mount in Tel Aviv over controversial new policies.
"I will continue serving the State of Israel here in Canada with the same passion and pleasure until a replacement is appointed later this year." Shimon Fogel, the CEO of the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs, called Hoffman an"outstanding individual" who is ultimately unable to reconcile his personal views with those advanced by the government he's supposed to represent.
"The fact that he's staying until the end of the summer, however, indicates that there is some level of mutual respect," Fogel said."That's an indication that there isn't a level of acrimony that characterizes this decision." "I think that this should be a clear message to the Canadian Jewish community that if someone who is serving as Israel's ambassador is willing to step down and say that this goes against their integrity, then that means that as Jews, with our relationship to the state of Israel, it's time for us to speak up as well."
"So it's a bit of a moot point. But you know, we don't get to choose who our interlocutors from another democracy are," he said, again pointing south of the border.
