***BIRTH PANG WATCH***** Less than a week after Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman warned in back to back speeches of economic damage to Israel if its diplomatic standing in the world did not improve, he convened an interministerial meeting in his office that came to the same judgment and whose conclusions were sent out to Israel’s representatives abroad in the form of what to expect in 2015. Yediot Aharonot, a newspaper strongly opposed to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, led its front page on Tuesday with the following headline: “The boycott of Israel will get worse,” and reporting that this was the chilly forecast that emerged from a classified Foreign Ministry document. That document, a page-anda- half diplomatic cable, summarized a December 28 meeting that Liberman convened in his office. The cable was signed by Foreign Ministry deputy-director general Gilad Cohen. jpost/Israel-News/Politics-And-Diplomacy/Foreign-Ministry-tells-its-envoys-Israel-to-face-stiff-economic-price-for-poor-diplomatic-standing-387660
