А между прочим, Мавритания разорвала дипломатические отношения с Израилем и на днях выгнала израильского посла. Не совсем понятна причина.
JERUSALEM (AP) - Israeli foreign ministry officials say the government of Mauritania is expelling the Israeli ambassador and his staff from the overwhelmingly Muslim West African nation.
The move comes weeks after Mauritania's military junta recalled its own ambassador from Israel. In January Mauritania said it was suspending ties with Israel over the fighting in Gaza.
The officials spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because the Foreign Ministry had yet to release details. Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor would not immediately comment.
An AP reporter in the Mauritanian capital of Nouakchott confirmed the embassy was closed.
Mauritania has been one of only three Arab League countries to have diplomatic ties with Israel, alongside Jordan and Egypt.
