Diplomats face termination after anti-PM, -FM tweets
Israeli diplomats could be fired after they retweeted messages criticizing the prime minister, foreign minister, and economy minister, the news site NRG reports.
“It can’t be that employees who are supposed to be representing the country write such things about the prime minister and the ministers,” the Foreign Ministry says.
The Israeli envoy to Switzerland, the political adviser in New Delhi, and another employee are being recalled for a hearing before being fired.
