Dr. Jonathan Rynhold , a senior lecturer in political science at Bar-Ilan University, told foreign ambassadors in Israel that compared to ‘decolonization’ by other countries – like France’s exit from Algeria – the 2005 Disengagement was a “tea party.”
Moldovan Ambassador Larissa Mikolatz, who participated in a post-election briefing session for ambassadors at Bar-Ilan, took pride in Moldovan expatriate Avigdor Lieberman’s good showing in the latest elections and wished him “great success.”
