Israeli ambassador being investigated for sexual harassment
An Israeli ambassador to an unnamed European country is reportedly being investigated for sexual harassment, following a complaint by a security guard.
Channel 12 news reported Monday that the male guard had
accused the diplomat of making comments of a strong sexual nature and of
parading around while scantily dressed, in a bid to “embarrass” him.
The guard was also reportedly complaining that the security
chief at the embassy failed to intervene.
Israeli authorities are set to question the ambassador, the
report said.
“If the claims are true, the Foreign Ministry views the
incident with great severity. There is no room for such behavior in the foreign
service,” the ministry said in a statement to the network.
The diplomat, who was not named, was said to have been
previously found guilty of sexual harassment 15 years ago while serving as a
consul. He reportedly received a reprimand for his conduct.
