Israeli abandonement of Colonel Yair Klein explained

Colonel Klein is one of the many Israelis who trained guerrillas in Colombia. With some legal irregularities, Russia arrested visiting Col.Klein and scheduled him for extradition to Colombia to face prosecution there.
Unusually, Israeli diplomats did not interfere. The reason became clear after Colombia’s forces liberated kidnapped Mrs. Betancourt in an operation with Israeli handwriting all over it. Now as Israeli security services reversed their policy and profitably cooperate with Colombian government against FARC, Col.Klein became an adversary to be sacrificed for good relations with Bogota.
