Paraguay moving Israeli embassy back to Tel Aviv, after 4 months
UPI reports: "Paraguay said Wednesday it's moving its Israeli embassy back to Tel
Aviv, just weeks after moving the consulate to Jerusalem. [...] In
response, Israel closed its embassy in the South American nation.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanhyahu on Wednesday raised concern
about the move's impact on diplomatic relations. [...] The Palestinian
Authority said it convinced newly-elected Paraguayan President Mario
Abdo Benitez to reverse the decision to move away from Tel Aviv, which
was made by his predecessor."
Comment: This is an unexpected diplomatic victory for the Palestinians, one that underscores how easy it is to manipulate opinion against Israel.
