Tzipi Livni appointed Gabriela Shalev of Hebrew University Law School despite the concerted opposition by Olmert, Barak, Peres, and Dalia Yitzik who wanted Israel ’s ex-consul in New York Alon Pinchas. Unlike Pinchas, Gabriela Shalev has no idea of the American politics. It is important for Livni to control the media-friendly UN position in the wake of her bid in Kadima primaries.






Just when you thought things could not get worse, suprise, suprise!!

Alon Pinchas was a UN ambassador for quite a long time. That’s why some fresh blood be useful. Besides, Alon Pinchas wasn’t a born ambassador and the new ambassador will know the ropes too.
Jews can’t cope with the politicians within their own country but Israel news about Ukraine shows they’re very much concerned about Ukrainian ones.
