Israeli embassy has resumed its work in Baku, Azerbaijan, the embassy told Trend.

“The Embassy of Israel in Baku, as well as other Israeli missions around the world, are back to work as usual. Negotiations between Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ employees and the Israeli Ministry of Finance will continue,” said the embassy.

On Oct.30, Israeli embassy in Baku temporarily suspended its work on strike for labor dispute.

“Due to the decision of the Israeli Ministry of Finance to breach understandings that were agreed upon and signed by the Director General of the Ministry of Finance on July 21, 2019, and to apply a one-sided procedure that alters a protocol that has been in place for several decades, we are forced to close the diplomatic mission.

“No consular services will be provided and no one will be allowed to enter the Embassy.

“Israeli diplomats are committed at all times to strive to enhance Israel's strength and resilience.

“Unfortunately, the decision of the Ministry of Finance does not leave us any choice but to take the above-mentioned action, since the vital interests of the State of Israel have been harmed. We hope that this crisis will be resolved as soon as possible,” the embassy earlier said in its statement.
