David Quarrey presents his diplomatic credentials to President Rivlin, who invites Queen Elizabeth II to visit the region

The first openly gay British ambassador presented his credentials to President Reuven Rivlin during an official ceremony in Jerusalem last week.

David Quarrey introduced his spouse, Aldo Oliver Henriquez, to Rivlin during the event at the President’s Residence.

Rivlin welcomed the ambassador, who took up his post in July, and told him of his hopes in using Quarrey’s diplomatic experience for confidence-building measures in the region.

“During your term here, we will celebrate the centenary of the Balfour Declaration, which perhaps marks the beginning of the diplomatic relations between Israel and Britain,” Rivlin told Quarrey referring to the November 1917 document in which the United Kingdom’s foreign secretary at the time, Arthur James Balfour, stated his government’s support for establishing a national homeland for Jews in Palestine.

In a post to his Twitter feed Quarrey spoke of his pride in serving in Israel.

What is it about Israel that the US and UK have to send homosexual ambassadors, we have to fly the rainbow flag over our Embassy there and the homosexuals have to have their pride parades there?

Sticking a thumb in God’s eye?

It isn’t going to end well.

This is what our low class Israeli ambassador and staff did over our Embassy in Israel. There is a whole lot of mocking going on, and it won't end well.

I remember reading about the homosexual flag being hoisted in Israel, but I don’t remember anyone pointing out a homosexual ambassador did it.
