Israeli Foreign Ministry says all diplomatic missions will resume work on November 1

Israel's diplomatic missions around the world, which previously went on strike over a dispute about paying taxes on overseas stipends, will resume work on November 1, the Israeli Foreign Ministry told RIA Novosti, APA reports.

"The strike is over, all embassies will be open tomorrow," the Foreign Ministry press service said.

The dispute centers around stipends paid to overseas workers, which had been tax-exempt for decades, said Hanan Goder, Israel's ambassador to South Sudan and a representative of the Foreign Ministry workers' union. 

An agreement on compensation between the finance and foreign ministries was reached in July, but the Finance Ministry backtracked on the agreement, Goder said.
