Ministry in dark about BD envoy in Manila’s inviting Israeli ambassador

According to Gomes, the Israeli envoy had good relationship with other Bangladeshi diplomats posted in Manila

Bangladesh Ambassador to the Philippines John Gomes invited his counterpart from Israel at a dinner at his residence in July.

“Eighteen ambassadors attended a dinner party I hosted and the Israeli ambassador was one of them,” John Gomes told the Dhaka Tribune.

The Israeli ambassador, Menashe Bar, who went on retirement in August, is a veteran diplomat and had met Gomes on different occasions.

In March, Gomes and his wife attended a reception where other ambassadors were present and they requested his wife to treat them with Indian food. She instantly invited all for a dinner.

“Bar was present at the reception, so we invited him also. It was just a gesture of courtesy,” Gomes added.

According to Gomes, the Israeli envoy had good relationship with other Bangladeshi diplomats posted in Manila. “Bar praised the economic progress and development in Bangladesh,” he said.

When contacted, a senior official of the Foreign Ministry said: “It should not have happened. “Bangladesh has no diplomatic relations with Israel and no Bangladeshi diplomat should invite an Israeli diplomat. So far I know, it has never happened before.”

He, however, said the ministry was yet to get any report from the ambassador on the matter.

its just family friends hanging out. One of my closest friend is a jew, i attended brother's Bar mitzvah and I get invited to most of his family events. I don't see a big deal in such events. Hell, I even dated a russian jewish girl for 2 years, starting from my high school. Just because bangladesh has no diplomatic relations with israeil, that does not mean he cant have israeli friends.

I had an Israeli friend once. Though, he wasn't Jewish, he was nice.

RAWAMI Indian stooges need to be removed from such important diplomatic positions.

Why is the Israeli diplomat asking for Indian food from Bangladeshis, this proves that Bangladesh is now an Indian puppet state.

Don't worry. Since we operate "Indian" restaurants all over the world, we already bought that patent back in 71

for @Loki @aazidane, is it a fashion statement to have jewish friend? You two do not hold any position to represent Bangladesh either. Then what is the point talking about your jewish friend. Point here is an Ambassador who representing a country his or her personal engagement also matters significantly. Specially when it comes to country that Bangladesh refused to have relation.

Awami Party testing waters before jumping in.

Musharraf tried something similar. There was a reaction in Pakistan.

Its up to Bangladeshis and their government. IDK why Indians are bringing in RAW?
