The Israeli Finance Ministry’s budget for the next year, to be submitted for cabinet approval this week, has revealed that the occupying regime of Israel has created almost a dozen new missions around the world since 2010.

The Finance Ministry’s website mentioned embassies in Ashgabat (Turkmenistan), Wellington (New Zealand), Accra (Ghana), Tirana (Albania) and the Caribbean, as well as consulates in Guangzhou (China), Sao Paolo (Brazil), Munich (Germany) and St. Petersburg (Russia), and a “diplomatic delegate to the Pacific.”

The ministry, however, refused to divulge information on a diplomatic mission reportedly set up in the Persian Gulf. “We cannot comment on this matter,” the regime’s Foreign Ministry said, as quoted by Israeli Haaretz newspaper.

To date, the occupying regime of Israel has no formal diplomatic relations with the Arab countries around the Persian Gulf, comprised of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

News of Israel’s push for new diplomatic missions comes on the heels of an earlier report that suggested the regime was attempting to mend security fences with some of its neighbors.

Earlier this month, it was reported that Israel was considering allying itself with several Arab states in a US-brokered defense alliance.
