The Israeli ambassador Yuval Rotem arrived back in Canberra from Israel to deal with the surprise expulsion of a Mossad chief from Canberra. He was in action as soon as he landed in Canberra talking in his mobile phone and arranging high-level meetings at parliament with both the Federal Government and the Coalition. This is the worst diplomatic crisis to hit Australian and Israeli relations.
Mr Rotem was absent from Australia, he was in Israel to discuss a chief-of-staff role in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office when Australia announced the expulsion. Israeli Embassy spokesman Dor Shapira said the meetings were being held with politicians from ”all sides” on the present crisis of expulsion. Later after lunch Mr Rotem met with Julie Bishop the deputy opposition leader and the one who is against the Labour Government’s decision to expel Israeli diplomats without any hard evidence.
