British supporters of Israel have written to the country’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu urging him to act to end the Foreign Ministry strike.
Israel’s diplomats are locked in a year-long dispute over pay and conditions, closing embassies and consular services across the world as a result.
The letter, signed by a dozen organisations and individuals, suggested the strike was damaging the country’s reputation abroad.
“The tireless work of Israel’s diplomats is absolutely crucial to protecting and advancing the cause of Israel,” it states.
