What's the most up-to-date resource on the Israeli Foreign Affairs Union strike?

score:2

Accepted answer

I don't know if the strike is officially over, but I just got a passport renewed at the embassy in DC

Upvote:5

This is the best resource. Currently they don't plan on issuing passports before January 1st.

Israel is currently preparing for the elections on November 1st, and the new government will probably not be sworn in before November ends. The elections were announced end of June, which is why the last update is dated in July. The current MoFA is also the Israeli PM and is understandably more busy with being reelected than figuring out the strike. I don't see any reason to think that the strike will end before the currently stated January 1st target date.


Updating as of Dec'22: the webpage with the information about the strike is now gone, and the Israeli Consulate in SF is now issuing passports again (verified). There was no announcement on the strike ending, but it has seemingly ended.
