Winter is over and spring has sprung. Passover preparations are in full swing, the blossoms are blooming and Israel prepares to welcome an influx of pilgrims and tourists from all over the world.
The Jerusalem Post held its annual diplomatic conference in Herzliya last week attended by representatives of countries accredited to Israel and also the international and local media. Perusing the list of attendees I noted that Australia seemed to be conspicuously absent and New Zealand whose diplomats are based in Turkey also did not put in an appearance...but J-Wire was there.
