So Trump’s Sec of Treasury met with Israel’s Minister of Finance yesterday. Then suddenly today, Israel temporarily closes every embassy in the world over a “minor issue” relating to paying expenses of embassy employees? Al Baghdadi evidence? Iran. Lebanon. Iraq. Israel?
US piggy bank drying up? Cash shortage? Won’t pay embassy staff? Short term strike? All Israeli embassy workers globally temporarily furloughed? Obviously this ties to the drop of something big. Is this to protect them against a FF or something about negative news?
Prime Ministers of Lebanon and Iraq are both resigning today. And yet the Left screams that Trump’s Syria pullout is harming the region. The exact opposite is true. The region is cleaning out its blatant corruption and terror influences.
Reading that I interpreted to mean people the embassy staff deal with i.e. contractors, etc. vs. the direct staff - but it’s clearly an interesting development!
I did many searches using Startpage and could find nothing, so had to resort to Gulagle, and even with several searches could only find this one article about Israeli embassies closing today. Very odd.
Israeli embassies around the world shut as diplomats, military attaches strike
Foreign and Defense Ministries unite in long-simmering dispute with Treasury over bid to retroactively cut envoys expense stipends; no consular services for Israelis abroad
All Israeli embassies and consulates around the world shut down early Wednesday as diplomats and military attaches went on strike over a long-simmering dispute with the Finance Ministry over expense stipends paid to envoys.
The move, coordinated by the Foreign Ministry, the Defense Ministry and the Histadrut Labor Federation, comes after the Treasury reportedly backtracked on previous understandings and said it would force the envoys to pay back thousands of dollars which they had been reimbursed for expenses.
The closure came into effect at 1 a.m on Wednesday morning Israel time.
[More at link, details kind of interesting; apparently this type of strike has happened before.]

The cleanout is harming the DemoCRAPS illicit activities and their profits from those activities.
