Awake Goy Days of Palestine, Jerusalem -Israeli occupation government has receded the nomination of former settler leader as its ambassador to Brazil, Israeli media reported on Thursday.
This measures, the Israeli media said, ended an eight-month standoff between the Israeli occupation state and Brazil over the former’s bid to appoint Danny Dayan, the former settlement leader, as its ambassador to the country.
In a dispute that soured relations, Brazil refused to accept Dayan’s nomination, made by the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last August.
At the beginning, the Israeli government refused to suggest a new candidate for the position, but on Thursday invited new applications for it.
“The foreign ministry human resources department has published today a tender which is addressed to the Israeli diplomats here at the foreign ministry, for the position of ambassador in Brasilia,” foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said.
The dispute began last summer when Netanyahu announced Dayan, who was born in Argentina and moved to the Israeli occupation state aged 15 in 1971, was the country’s preferred choice.
Brazil’s government opposed Dayan because of his opposition to a Palestinian state, as well as because of his former position as a settlement leader. Based on international law, Israeli Jewish settlement ate illegal.
Dayan headed the Yesha Council of the illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank between 2007 and 2013.
Brazil recognised the Palestinian state in 2010.
