On November 3, PolOffs presented reftel demarche to MFA
Director General for Foreign Policy, Joaquin Maza. Maza said

he believes "sanctions against Israel don't help the
situation," but told us he had to review the resolution's
text and consult with FM Hugo Martinez before stating an
official GOES position. Martinez is currently in Jamaica
attending a Rio Group conference. Maza also mentioned that
he discussed the same issue with Israeli Ambassador Mattanya
Cohen just prior to our meeting. We will report any further
information on the GOES position septel.
