Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni this week received an extraordinary gift, a diamond ring sent to her with from a Canadian man. Livni by the way is married and the mother of two.

The ring arrived at Livni’s Jerusalem office via a FedEx delivery. Foreign Ministry security agents feared the small package may be an explosive and they were more than a bit surprised after it was opened, revealing a diamond engagement ring seated on an 18 karat gold band. Officials admit they are not certain if the diamond is genuine.

The ring was sent by Quebec resident Laurent Belanger, who did not actually express his wishes to marry the minister, but a note said “I know what I am doing.”

According to reports, Livni instructed her staff to thank the sender and return the gift.
