In statements to the press, Abad said that she will comply with the constitutionality of the mission, so that she will not be accused of not fulfilling her function.
However, she cleared up that if the United States has not been able to stop the conflict between Israel and Palestine, it is a difficult task, but she accepts it and will serve as ambassador in Tel Aviv.
Abad condemned that since the elections, she has been victim of a decontextualization campaign and when referring to her relationship with Noboa, she said that evidently there is a violation of the vice-presidency.
Several local media echoed this week a distancing between Abad and Noboa, a situation that Noboa insists on denying.
On Monday, several political and human rights organizations described the decision to send Abad to Israel as an unusual event in Ecuador’s foreign policy. In a press release, organizations including the Segundo Montes Mozo Human Rights Documentation Center, the Kinty Ñan Human Rights Collective, the Permanent Committee for the Defense of Human Rights and the Pichincha Bar Association, argued that an appointment of this scope should have been made to a person with a well-known international experience and training in human rights, peace and conflict solution.
