Yishelem, Beiteynu - Gabriel Schwartz, Beiteynu's Permanent Representative to the World Congress has announced his resignation from his post citing health reasons. Schwartz who has been absent from the General Assembly for months, has left Beiteynu's voice unheard especially in debates concerning Kafuristan and Badara in the General Assembly. His resignation comes after a controversial intervention by Katerina Sheket, the head of the Medinat Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, who challenged Dorvik's role and actions in Kafuristan, claiming to have "intel" on Dorvish-Kafuri relations.
Schwartz who has served as Permanent Representative for many years issued a statement saying that he was "deeply grateful" for the opportunity to serve his country and the World Congress, but that he had to step down due to "personal health issues" which prevented him from fulfilling his duties. He did not elaborate on the nature or severity of his condition, nor did he comment on Sheket's response in the General Assembly. Sheket blundered her response to the Hutori representative, who questioned how Beiteynu had access to "intel" on Dorvish-Kafuri relations. Sheket stuttered and cleared her throat several times, before yielding the remainder of her time to the Beiteynuese Office of the Permanent Representative to the World Congress. The incident was captured by the media and went viral on social media.
Regardless, Schwartz, despite been absent for debate in the General Assembly, has been present to vote for the resolutions in the Security Council. Prime Minister Eliana Amira has accepted the resignation of Schwartz and announced the appointment of former Prime Minister Sharon Aristocrat-Goldbloom as the new Permanent Representative. She will be expected to introduce herself to the Security Council soon.
In related news, the Permanent Representative for the Majatran Security and Cooperation Organization (MSCO) Reuhen Wandsworth has also announced his resignation citing his old age. Wandsworth served as the country Foreign Minister in the 50s and 60s before his appointment to the MSCO. The Office of the Rosh HaMemshala has not yet announced a successor, but sources say that the search is underway and that a new representative will be appointed soon.
