Staff at Israeli missions worldwide announce strike over pay conditions

Support staff at Israeli embassies, consulates and delegations around the world have announced a surprise strike, Ynet reports.

Employees, who make up 60 to 80 percent of the workforce at the missions, assert the state has dawdled in finding solutions to problems they say exist in pay terms enacted this year.

As a result of the strike much of Israeli missions’ work will be halted, and consular services will be unavailable.

It’s not yet clear how long the strike is expected to last.
