“we sat in the Pope’s magnificent wide chamber in the Vatican. The issue at hand was the lack of diplomatic relations between the state of Israel and the Holy See. Saint John Paul II fixed his piercing gaze on me for a long moment. Did I insult him by comparing the Vatican to Muslim countries that refuse to acknowledge Israel? I sat tensely on my seat, waiting for the Pope’s words. After a tense moment that felt like an eternity, the Pope broke his silence:” Mr. Ambassedor,” he said “Are you trying to tell me that we are the worst in the world?” I hesitated for a moment and finally came up with an answer that lit a spark in his eyes…” In a style that is both eloquent and moving, Avi Pazner weaves together Israel’s political and diplomatic history in the last half century, with his own life story. Mr. Pazner is one of Israel’s top diplomats, who served as Israel’s ambassador to Rome and to Paris, advised numerous Israeli Prime Ministers and worked with world leaders such as Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr. and Jr., Fran�ois Mitterrand, Jacques Chirac, Nicolas Sarkozy and Silvio Berlusconi. In this book he provides a rare opportunity to look behind the scenes of Israel’s political and diplomatic spheres. In this fascinating autobiography by a man who also served as the spokesperson for Israel’s foreign ministry’s in Jerusalem and as Israeli embassy in Washington, as well as serving as Israeli Prime Minister’s personal advisor and as chairman of Keren Hayesod (United Israel Appeal), the reader will find humorous anecdotes and intriguing events from the field, which have caught Pazner’s attention and are published here for the first time.
