Israel: Long Wait Times for Ministry of Foreign Affairs Services

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel has temporarily reduced its open hours to only Mondays and Tuesdays, from 9:00 until 14:30 (local time). This, combined with a staff shortage and limited appointment slots, has resulted in long outdoor lines for apostilles and other services provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Affected applicants should plan around this issue. We will update this news brief when normal open hours resume.
