The Histadrut national labor union instructs all government employees to go on strike, including in all of Israel’s diplomatic missions around the world, APA reports citing The Times of Israel.

A spokesperson for Israel’s Embassy in the United States confirms it has shut down until further notice: "Today (3/27), the Histadrut, Israel's largest labor union, 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".

Note that the strikes were announced following Netanyahu’s decision on Sunday to fire his Defense Minister Yoav Gallant who became the first member of the cabinet to call for a pause in the reforms.
