Israel backs out of spat with Brazil over nomination of ambassador
A seven-month old standoff between Tel Aviv (isreal) and Brasilia ( brazil ) , has come to an end after Israel decided to withdraw the nomination of Dani Dayan, a former West Bank settlement leader, as ambassador to Brazil.
Authorities in Brazil had earlier rejected him for his pro-settlement stance while also refusing to accept his credentials as a sign of their disapproval.

Months after tense exchanges between Israel and the South American country, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that Dayan would instead be appointed consul-general in New York.
Considering the South American’s country’s position on the Israeli occupation, dozens of former Brazilian diplomats and social movements signed letters supporting the Brazilian government’s decision not accept the ambassadors initial appointment.
