Israel’s Consul General in New York, Asaf Zamir, was summoned to Jerusalem by the Foreign Ministry after he spoke against the government’s plans for judicial reforms to hundreds of Jewish donors last week.
Speaking at The Jewish Museum’s annual fundraising dinner to over 900 major donors from the New York Jewish community, Zamir said: “I’m deeply concerned about the direction the country is going in right now. If you want to have a national home, and you want it to be everyone’s home, it really must be democratic.”
The government is not planning on dismissing Zamir, who was appointed to his position by then-Foreign Minister Yair Lapid and is the first Israeli diplomat to slam the reform, Yisrael Hayom reported.
However, if he continues to talk against the government, he will be dismissed.
