Diplomacy on social media.

December 31, 2025 Interview with Peleg Lewi, Ambassador of Israel to Chile Photo: Andres Perez Andres Perez Comments MR. EDITOR: In relation to the recent and inappropriate interventions of the Israeli Ambassador on social media, it is imperative to reflect on the limits of diplomatic work and the concerning passivity of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is not appropriate for a foreign representative to use platforms like X to make statements that go beyond legitimate political opinion and border on direct threats, especially in their hostile responses to figures with the track record of former Foreign Minister Juan Gabriel Valdés. The ambassador's digital activism, filled with belligerence foreign to the customs and practices of professional diplomacy, erodes institutional respect between sovereign states. A diplomat must build bridges, not blow them up through public confrontation with authorities and diplomats from our country. Even more worrying is the inaction of the Chilean government. By allowing these affronts and breaches of diplomacy to occur without a firm protest note, our administration not only validates a dangerous precedent, but projects a weakness that compromises national dignity. Sovereignty is defended by demanding that foreign representatives on our soil strictly adhere to the Vienna Convention. It is time for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to act with the responsibility that the position demands in the face of these constant grievances.
