In the lobby for strengthening the foreign service, under the leadership of MK Nachman Shai (Zionist Union), MK Tzipi Livni (Zionist Union) said that the law to label organizations would destroy Israel from within. She claims that it would particularly harm Israel's foreign relations.
MK Livni added that "Dani Dayan's delayed appointment as ambassador to Brazil is not a form of personal harassment - but rather opposition to Israel's policies about the settlements."
