Israel weighs reply to Venezuela
The Israeli Government will ponder calmly on next steps in
the diplomatic crisis with Venezuela, following the recall
Thursday of the Venezuelan chief of mission by President Hugo
Chávez.
"We are studying the situation and no decision is expected
for several days. We will not rush up," Dorit Shavit, the
head of the Department for Latin America, Israeli Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, told Efe.
According to the high-ranking official, Chávez's decision
caused "discomfort and indignation" in Israel for being unilateral.
It does not show a neutral stance by the Venezuelan president.
Nor is it empathetic at all with the Israeli people.
Chávez explained that he recalled the Venezuela chief
of mission to Israel because of the "genocide" against Lebanon
and Palestine.
