To the Prime Minister of the State of Israel Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu

To the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel Mr. Avigdor Liberman
To the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the State of Israel Mr. Zeev Elkin
Your Excellencies!
We, undersigned, the locally engaged staff of the Israeli diplomatic missions abroad, hereby appeal to your attention.
Without being Israeli citizens we are happy and proud to work for the benefit of the country to which many of us feel both professional and strong personal attachment.
We support the Israeli diplomats' claims, which are being put in the frame of the current labor dispute. We work together and we are everyday evidence of their devotion to the country and pursuing of its interests. It was only high necessity which made the diplomatic corps to resort to such an extreme measure as strike.
We believe that the important and necessary work that the state of Israel does to promote the country's image abroad and to develop international cooperation should be supported by well-deserved living standards for those people who perform this work selflessly.
We ask you to pay your attention to the strikers' demands and facilitate resolution of the labor conflict. We hope that it will happen as soon as possible in order not to suspend further the important projects and programs, which are being implemented for the country's good by the Israeli diplomatic missions all over the world.
