The following announcement was released by the spokesman for the Foreign Ministry:
Israel expresses its deep disappointment with the hasty decision of the governments of El Salvador, Peru and Chile to recall their ambassadors for consultations.
This step constitutes encouragement for Hamas, a group recognized as a terror organization by many countries around the world.
Israel expects countries who oppose terrorism to act responsibly and not to hand terrorists a prize. So far, every time Israel accepted plans for establishing a ceasefire and restoring calm, it was countered by Hamas’s sustained rocket fire. El Salvador, Chile and Peru would have been much better advised to promote the international move intended to assist Israel in its efforts to defend innocent civilians and instate a durable ceasefire with the demilitarization of Gaza.

Who needs them. These countries need Israel more than Israel needs them. Every time there is an earthquake or a crisis there, Israel sends help. Who the heck needs them. One day they will come begging and they will regret their antisemitism.
