he said he could no longer serve in a government whose policies he did not agree with ambassador thank you very much for joining us here in our team you resigned after more than fifteen years of service what was the final score when. and why. to greet the stuff of the foreign minister the ministry of foreign and the banner of all banners for him was who. desires peace needs to be careful rule. and i thought that was very telling. of the psyche that. exists behind his political. weight and i thought i could not. minister with this kind of statement is that a statement supported by the majority of israelis i think we israelis yes we. we grew up. with you that. we need to be

a little. more most israelis live a life that is quite bad and you can cut it out of the environment here and planted it in the u.s. or in europe western europe and you will find the israelis quite. easily integrating into society into requirements in place and so on so it's not. the regiment that society of my childhood. all the time it's at any given point in time but it is true that israelis are not naive and they believe that we can survive here in the middle east. only if we ready to fight for when you resigned to. the staff of the foreign ministry explaining the resignation what was the reaction. and what is the general mood like among israeli public

servants concerning the policies that i have to the friends i have no illusions some of us were frustrated by my letter. because it is outside of the code of conduct that you just drop out because you don't like the message the messenger has no view over the message that is the code of conduct and it's quite legitimate to think in that way how many missions does agree with the message and how many don't in the foreign ministry in my view. the large majority don't care they are professionals and whatever message comes for them to believe that they will do. that is. a solid minority ministry that is politically motivated to promote.

israel. in its. rather. hawkish. position it's just government it is is pursuing. i think we do also have the lefties leftovers from the past but i think the minority is your last overseas posting was as ambassador to south africa what is your experience in south africa teaching as far as a christian nation is all is concerned. i think that israel is. in a danger zone to slide. by default. into. money for stations of apartheid if we don't take it. and i'm afraid we don't take it and there's going to contain in the united states as far as israeli policies. on

iran and palestine does how close is the rift between the united states and israel or is it merely a lovers' quarrel i'm surprised to realize how deep the americans care for israel is when it comes to the conversation the political conversation in the us. i also can see how. the aftermath of the war in iraq and in afghanistan. and the american city of the middle east. could work badly for the image is present in the us in the political discourse in the us and in the context of american interest god forbid that the us will be more reluctant. to reach out for israel because our predicament now is like a result of policy pursued by this kind of government in

a way that i think is tragically wrong. that we lean to the american congress a single source of strength in our diplomatic fabric and that is a very dangerous following on from one to saying this is all has become increasingly isolated on the international stage what should the country's first steps to bring it out of its isolation in my view this government. very explicitly. made a statement to the fake that. stepped out. intentionally. of the paradigm of land for peace and of occupation is the key to. a settlement in the middle east. and into a new paradigm. there. stipulates ownership of.

exclusive ownership of it. over the entirety of the land of israel which comprises in the in the eyes of palestinians palestine that paradigm is a dead end i think it is immoral morally and practically it's not sustainable and that is the reason why i left government i thought i could not serve that kind of off message thank you moon the united nations chain has called on it all to end of occupation of palestine morning that is warmly to now the israeli palestinian conflict but if the israeli government is willing to let israel does on the west bank and the gaza strip whatever it likes. and. things are changing fast on the ground in favor of entrenching israeli presence in palestinian areas i don't think really jerusalem pays

much attention too much attention to what to the secretary-general of the u.n. is saying who can it's all been lie on in the region considering that in the aftermath of the arab spring the middle east has become more radicalized i don't think israel is looking for allies i think israel is looking for. partners. of convenience. one is jordan. whose survivability in the way in the form we know it to the house in my kingdom. so we entertain. a lot of common interests egypt is consumed by its own revolution and as long as it doesn't pose a threat to us i think israel is taking a very careful distance and turkey. it cut

a straw figure foreign policy towards one of the emerging powers in the military knew that's why syria goes what is the best outcome for israel and why does the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu wants everything to change in syria if that would mean also i could mean another islamic state on the border i don't think israel came there. have an impact on the outcome of any regime change that is underway anyway. so to ignore the fact that there is a regime change in the making in syria would be. unacceptable but it's the same time we need to be very careful not to expedite it is there any way that it will cut the cord and i would take military invasion of crimea that qatar headquarters for what to expect an invasion mean for israel and for the region i can hardly see the arab world rigid minting

around one force that is prepared to walk into syria physically and intervene then i don't see it happening how much of a play isn't down to regional security it is very obvious that iran is pursuing its position as a regional power. to serve interests that go beyond immediate borders of iran it is tried marilee defense is primarily it responds to the desire of iran to protect itself that is one level the other is said the domestic political discourse in israel the right wing always. profited from a nervous public mood on you defense issues and i think a lot about what is a lot of what is saved about your run actually serves political a. i'm. very angry about this i think it should be stopped at once

do you think you can attack israel. could israel attack iran i don't. see. international legitimacy. response. on iran. and i think. on iraq. thank you very much for joining us here on our team.
