National Security Council’s Amidror bats at criticism from envoys over policy, saying they should either represent Israel, resign or enter politics.
National Security Council head Yaakov Amidror’s irritated response to questions by Israeli ambassadors about E1 – that they should either represent Israel’s position, resign or go into politics – was representative of a government attitude that does not put a premium on explaining policy to those who must represent it, Foreign Ministry officials said Monday.

The officials were responding to a Yediot Ahronot story Monday that Amidror snapped a day earlier at ambassador to the UN Ron Prosor when he asked about the timing of the decision to announce planning for development of the E1 section between Jerusalem and Ma’ale Adumim.
















The Dahaf Institute poll found that 67% of Israelis say they would support a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians if it takes into account Israeli security concerns.
