"The Foreign Ministry condemned the atrocities that occurred in Myanmar against the Rohingya Muslims after an Israeli diplomat tweeted support for government officials there facing a genocide trial in international court. “Encouragement for a good verdict and good luck!” Israel’s ambassador to Myanmar, Ronen Gilor, tweeted at the beginning of the week, expressing support for Myanmar State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, a Nobel Prize winner who also serves as the country’s foreign minister. The tweet was later deleted, after a query from the Israeli daily Haaretz, the newspaper and news website reported. On Thursday, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the tweet was written “in error, and was corrected immediately.” The statement also said that “Israel strongly condemns the atrocities that took place in the Rakhine region against the Rohingya. About a week ago, Israel voted in favor of a resolution to denounce the atrocities.”..."
