MFA press release - UNIFIL's mandate renewal:
Israel appreciates the efforts made by the USA and other countries to guarantee better implementation of UNIFIL's mandate in south Lebanon.
The restrictions posed by Hezbollah and the State of Lebanon on UNIFIL continue to significantly hinder the full and effective implementation of its mandate.
New and disturbing evidence of Hezbollah attacking UNIFIL soldiers and obstructing them from executing their mandate was revealed yesterday. This evidence should have pushed those who care about the safety and stability of Lebanon to use this mandate renewal opportunity to take a stronger position on the fundamental issue of ensuring full access to the force.
Should these restrictions remain, UNIFILโs relevance is questionable.

Israel gravely views the verdict given today in Russia concerning Israeli citizen Naama Issachar.
This is a substantial and disproportionate punishment for a young Israeli with no criminal record, who arrived in Moscow with the intention of catching a connecting flight on her way home to Israel.
Unfortunately, Russian authorities have not as yet heeded our requests to conduct the case appropriately in accordance to the circumstances of her arrest.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs wishes to express its disgust with the vandalism to war graves at the British war cemetery in Haifa.
We wholeheartedly condemn this hate crime, in which those responsible chose to smash and draw swastikas on gravestones of Commonwealth soldiers killed during the two world wars.
The incident is being investigated by the Israel Police. We expect a swift and successful conclusion of the investigation, at the end of which the perpetrators will be brought to justice.
We thank our partners from the British Commonwealth countries and especially the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) for their commitment and actions to repair the damage and to restore the cemetery to its previous high standard.

Due to the Israeli Finance Ministry's breaching of longstanding agreements with MFA employees, we are forced to close Israeli missions around the world AS OF TODAY, OCTOBER 30.
No consular services will be provided, entry into the missions will not be allowed.
The Finance Ministry's ongoing disruption of the vital diplomatic tools of the State of Israel have left MFA employees with no choice but to pursue sanctions.
We hope that this crisis will be promptly resolved.
