The meeting was requested after Ambassador Nadya Rasheed questioned the Uruguayan position regarding the ceasefire in Gaza. There is still no date for the meeting.
The Chancellery quoted the Palestinian ambassador Nadya Rasheed for their comments regarding the relationship between Uruguay and Israel, and the possible link that was established between the authorization to export meat on the bone and the country’s position regarding the war with Hamas which has been taking place since last October.

The problem, more than the criticism itself, was that the ambassador’s message was made citing the official communication from the Foreign Ministry regarding the Israeli authorization to export bone-in meat from Uruguay.
