Israeli embassy in Azerbaijan resumes work UPDATED

The Israeli embassy in Azerbaijan has resumed its activities after a brief suspension.

"The strike is over and we have returned to normal work mode," the diplomatic mission told Report.

Earlier Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir agreed to suspend the judicial reform, which caused massive protests in the country.

The Israeli Embassy in Azerbaijan has temporarily suspended its activities.

"The decision was made to suspend the activity of diplomatic missions of Israel in a number of countries, including Baku, due to political tensions in Israel. Until another decision is made, the embassy will not operate. This also applies to consular services," the embassy told Trend.

Protests by the thousands against the judicial reform pursued by Binyamin Netanyahu's government have been taking place in Israel and elsewhere for the 12th week in a row. The proposed bill would limit the Supreme Court's influence on the process of passing basic laws, allow parliamentarians to challenge the court's decisions, and give the government control over the procedure for appointing judges, protesters say.
