Israel's embassy in Washington DC is set to close on Monday, in solidarity with calls by Israel’s largest trade union federation, Histadrut, for strikes against the judicial reforms.
"The Histadrut... instructed all government employees to go on strike, including Israel’s diplomatic missions around the world. The Embassy of Israel will be closed today until further notice and no consular services will be provided," tweeted diplomat and spokesperson Elad Strohmayer.
Meanwhile, the al-Karameh crossing between Jordan and occupied Palestine was also closed due to Israeli strikes.
