Don’t forget about us, plead Central American envoys in Israel

As Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu wrapped up his historic trip to Argentina, Colombia and Mexico — marking the first time any Israeli leader has ever visited the region — the Israel-based envoys of four Central American nations hosted a big party Thursday night whose underlying message seemed to be, “Hey, we’re here, too!”

The lavish reception at the Tel Aviv Sheraton attracted about 200 diplomats, private executives, government officials, journalists and others. The occasion: the four countries’ 196th anniversary of independence from Spain.
