Sir, – I read that "tensions rose last year when an Israeli foreign ministry spokesman called Brazil a 'diplomatic dwarf' after Brasília recalled its ambassador from Israel to protest against a military offensive in Gaza" ("Israel presses Brazil to accept pro-settler ambassador", December 28th).

If that constitutes Israeli diplomacy (and we’ve had examples closer to home), “full and frank” discussions must be quite something to behold. – Yours, etc,
