TEL AVIV (Dispatches) – Zionist prime minister Yair Lapid has approved the closure of the Israeli regime’s embassy in Eritrea as authorities in the Northeast African country have not been allowing the arrival of a diplomat from the occupied territories in the past two years. Lapid, who is still serving as Israeli foreign minister, took the decision on Saturday to shutter the diplomatic mission in the Eritrean capital city of Asmara, after the local government had been delaying Ishmael Khaldi to take up the post despite his appointment. According to Israeli media outlets, the embassy has remained empty in the aftermath of the Eritrean government’s decision, and many of its staffers are currently in their homes without doing any particular tasks. The outlets added that the Tel Aviv regime spends tens of thousands of dollars per month on rent and other fees for the employees.
