Venezuelan diplomatic experts urge govn't to reconsider expulsion of Israeli envoy

The Venezuelan Association of International Affairs Experts rejected the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from Venezuela, arguing that the move runs counter to the neutral stance Venezuela has historically taken in international conflicts, and urged the government to reconsider the decision. The Association said in a statement that the removal of a diplomatic envoy does not pave the way to solve any dispute. "We urge the government to reconsider the move and foster negotiations that help solve the issue, rather than worsening things," read the statement.
