Multilateral Affairs Director General Lourdes Puma on
November 21. Puma stated that as far as she was aware,
Ecuador's policy regarding its voting on UNGA resolutions
with regards to Israel had not changed. Ecuador voted in

62/80 and 62/106. PolOff asked whether it was possible that
Ecuador may change its policy in light of Foreign Minister
