The boycott of Israel will get worse
Less than a week after Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman warned in back to back speeches of economic damage to Israel if its diplomatic standing in the world did not improve, he convened an interministerial meeting in his office that came to the same judgment and whose conclusions were sent out to Israel’s representatives abroad in the form of what to expect in 2015.
Yediot Aharonot, a newspaper strongly opposed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, led its front page on Tuesday with the following headline: “The boycott of Israel will get worse,” and reporting that this was the chilly forecast that emerged from a classified Foreign Ministry document.

The argument that a lack of diplomatic initiative on Israel’s part has led to growing international isolation and will lead to economic fallout has emerged as a theme in Liberman’s election campaign, as well as in the campaigns of Labor-Hatnua and Yesh Atid.
Yediot reported that according to the cable the assessment in Jerusalem is that “American influence is succeeding at the present in delaying practical decisions [against Israel] until after the election. Nevertheless, in light of the systematic Palestinian policy to move the conflict to the UN, there is no guarantee that the US will continue to use its veto after the elections.”
