 Shek was critical of Lieberman for say at an ambassadors conference in 2009, that the Foreign Ministry should not deal with the peace process:
 ::"I'm the second generation in this profession - my father [Zeev Shek] belonged to the generation of diplomats who only dreamed of making peace with our neighbors; they understood that this was the mission of Israeli diplomacy. That is the meta-idea of diplomacy: to improve relations between countries, and not to spoil them. How can you say the Foreign Ministry doesn't have to deal with that?<ref name="HaaretzProfile">Aviva Lori, [http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/magazine/former-israeli-ambassador-speaks-his-mind-about-his-boss-avigdor-lieberman-1.401828 Former Israeli ambassador speaks his mind about his boss, Avigdor Lieberman], ''Haaretz'', 16 December 2011.</ref>

		+	::I think that over the last few years there's been a blurring of boundaries between anti-Israelism, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, and there's a sort of grey area that was created where it's difficult to distinguish anymore between these three categories and I think that's extremely dangerous.<ref>Jane Hutcheon, [http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2003/s992245.htm Israel tries to soften EU criticism], ABC Net.au, 19 November 2003.</ref>
