Chilean-Palestinian Parliamentary Group Calls for Review of Ambassador Zaliasnik’s Continuation

The Chilean-Palestinian Parliamentary Group has asked the government to review Gabriel Zaliasnik’s continuation as Chile’s ambassador to Israel, adding a new political demand over a controversy involving the diplomat.

The group, which operates within Chile’s Chamber of Deputies and Deputies, made the request in a statement circulated on Monday. Its intervention places the ambassador’s position under renewed political scrutiny and directs the matter to the government for evaluation.

The statement referred to “what happened,” but the available text does not detail the incident or explain the circumstances surrounding the controversy. It does, however, frame the episode as serious enough to warrant consideration of whether Zaliasnik should remain in his post.

The request introduces an institutional response from Chilean lawmakers connected to the country’s Palestinian parliamentary group. It also adds pressure on the executive branch after the diplomat’s actions became the subject of public controversy.
