Israel envoy to Canada signals resignation over 'different policy' under Netanyahu$1:
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.
“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.”
Roberts said he is calling on the Canadian government to commit to not pursuing official relationships with the most “extreme elements” of the governing coalition.
The elephant in the room has to be discussed in polite company. Israel has gone too far right for far too long and is now alone and isolated. This may have been given a pass before but frankly the US doesn't need to indulge Israel as Ukraine provides a superior wedge.
