Zvi Mazel
Zvi Mazel, diplomat, born 1939. He is ambassador for Israel in Sweden. He has worked previously at the Israeli embassies in Antananarive, Paris and Cairo.
He had made news a few times. Once, when he stated that the Swedish Archbishop KG Hammar "probably is an anti semite", and when he stated that Swedish foreign minister Anna Lindh's critique of Israel's human rights violations could not be tolerated. Internationally, he is probably best known for vandalizing the artwork Snövit och sanningens vansinne (Snow White and The Madness of Truth) in January 2004. The artwork was a part of the exhibition Making Differences. Israel Prime Minister Ariel Sharon later said he supported his actions.
