Israeli Embassies Closed Worldwide on October 30

On October 30, Israeli diplomatic missions around the world were closed due to a strike. The website of the Israeli Foreign Ministry reports that the strike occurred due to a conflict with the Ministry of Finance.

Due to the conflict between the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the Ministry of Finance, the country’s embassies and consulates in the world suspended their work.

Tour operators from the Ministry of Tourism of Israel say that what is happening will not lead to problems with tourists.

The situation with the work of embassies will not affect the tourists departing for Israel, as the destination is visa-free for our citizens. In practice, all requests from tourists are mostly related to the work of the Russian Embassy and Consulate in Israel.”
