An upcoming visit to Israel by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz could be in jeopardy due to the threat of a Foreign Ministry workers’ strike, according to Hebrew media reports.
The trip, slated for next month, could be canceled after a meeting of the Foreign Ministry workers union ended with a declaration to stop working on the upcoming trip.
Foreign Ministry employees have been in a labor dispute on and off for years over their work conditions, including one launched in November.
