Amanda & Michael team up again, this time to discuss Israeli diplomacy and engagement in Latin America with former Israeli diplomat Mike Driquez, who served as Deputy Ambassador to Costa Rica and later Deputy Consul General to several US states including Florida and Puerto Rico. They cover a range of topics in this discussion including:
- Historical connections in the region
- Technology diplomacy in sectors such as agriculture, cybersecurity, and water resource management
- Cultural diplomacy and public perception
- Possibility of outreach to Latin American communities with Palestinian, Lebanese, and other Middle Eastern heritage
- Diversity of representation in Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to include diplomats of Arab, Druze, and Jewish heritage
- Differences in managing diplomatic relations in the US vs Latin America and navigating the uniqueness of Puerto Rico as a US territory
