Ben Shapiro Says Israel Shouldn't Invest in Diplomacy

Former US Ambassadors and Officials Criticize Shapiro's Remarks

American Right-wing Commentator's Views Contrast with Conservative Conference Message

In an off-stage interview with the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro expressed his belief that Israel should not invest diplomatically with other countries.

Shapiro's remarks came during a visit to Israel as part of a conservative conference. However, his views on diplomacy contradict the conference's message of promoting peace and dialogue in the region.

A panel of former US ambassadors and officials who have played a role in Israel's normalization with Arab nations criticized Shapiro's comments, stating that diplomacy is essential for fostering dialogue and resolving conflicts.

Shapiro's views raise concerns about the influence of right-wing commentators on US foreign policy and the potential impact on regional stability. Critics argue that his ideas run counter to the principle of peace and cooperation, which has been a longstanding goal for Israel and its neighbors.

The debate over Shapiro's remarks highlights the ongoing tension between unilateral solutions and cooperative diplomacy in the pursuit of peace in the Middle East.
