Israel’s ambassador to Albania, Galit Peleg, reacted after protesters removed the Israeli flag from the embassy in Tirana.
Peleg has stated that he respects the right of citizens to protest, but such an act damages the image of Albania and shames its people.
“As an ambassador of a democratic state, I believe in the right of the Albanian people to exercise their civil right to protest. However, such an action not only does not advance the public protest, but also shames the Albanian people and their proud heritage,” said Peleg.
Peleg also thanked Ferit Hoxha and the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, who, through the reaction on Facebook, condemned the removal and tearing of the Israeli flag from the embassy in Tirana.
