Israel, New Zealand resolve diplomatic spat over new envoy
None
Israel and New Zealand have resolved a diplomatic dispute that had prevented New Zealand's new ambassador from taking up his post for more than half a year.
Israel last September prevented Ambassador Jonathan Curr from presenting his credentials after learning that he would also serve as New Zealand's envoy to the Palestinians. At the time, Israel said it had a "well-known policy" of not accrediting diplomats who are also accredited to the Palestinian Authority.
