Tzipi Hotovely
The Diplomat
People, composure and the difficult conversation held well.
Tzipi Hotovely is an Israeli diplomat who focuses on fostering alliances and understanding between diverse groups. This interview highlights her strategic approach to diplomacy, particularly in addressing complex regional issues and the historical context of Israel's relationships.
“It's very, very interesting because I do want to speak about changes that Israeli society is being through. And for me, kibbutz and settlement, it's the same thing because the kibbutz team were basically communities were sitting on the border to defend Israel. And we have the same with the settlement.”
“I think I love people. I truly love people. I truly believe that change is possible. You know, we were talking that this is before Yom Kippur. Yom Kippur is the one day in the year where we reflect and we believe that we can change and transform as human beings. And this is my Jewish reflection on this. I truly believe in change.”
“So exactly what I want to say that the situation was that in the second sirens, I realized something is really wrong and something is happening. And I think we had a friend, a neighbor that came to say that there is an invasion in the south. And I was looking at my husband.”
“So, actually, here I can tell you how much my sympathy goes to every loss of life because I don't want to see anyone losing its life in a war.”
