Chilean President Gabriel Boric received the credentials of Israel's new ambassador on Friday afternoon, two weeks after a diplomatic dispute after the ceremony was postponed due to the death of a young Palestinian.
Israeli ambassador Gil Artzyeli had initially been scheduled to attend the ceremony on September 15, but that same day it was postponed in a move Israel's foreign ministry characterised as "unprecedented."
Chile's decision was in response to the death of a Palestinian teenager during a military operation in the occupied West Bank, the Chilean government said in a statement, adding that the ceremony had been rescheduled for September 30.
