The Israeli embassy in Wellington has shut down as part of a global closure of Israel’s diplomatic missions, citing recent security developments.

This follows Israel’s airstrikes on Iranian nuclear and military sites and Iran’s retaliatory drone attacks.

The Wellington embassy, which also serves several Pacific nations, suspended all consular services and issued safety warnings for Israelis abroad.

Deputy chief of mission Yael Holan defended Israel’s actions as self-defense against what she described as “Iran’s near-complete development of nuclear weapons” and accused Iran of targeting civilians, while Israel claims it struck only military and nuclear targets.

The duration of the embassy closures remains unspecified.

    • The Jew hatred on this site is sickening. Do you all cheer for a nuclear armed fanatical Iranian regime or their baby killing murderous raping terror proxies? Seriously?

      Are you in favour of the eradication of the only democratic country in the middle east by fanatical Islam?

      What the f*** is wrong with you?

      Am Yisrael Chai.

      • Eurokiwi
        Go and spread your lies elsewhere if you don t like it.
        IsraHELL is an apartheid and genocidal state. For the world to see.. That is for your “democratie”
        .
        And as for muslims, they have perhaps a different skin colour or different way of life than europeans, but they long , as most human beings, for peace and prosperity. And for that they should be respected

        Israhell is the one threatening to ” nuke “the world. Look for the meaning of Samson option if you are that ignorant.

        Israhell also threatened to nuke the Assouan Dam if Egypt would help palestinians. Causing then a gigantic flood and millions of dead ( ref. scott ritter).

        Iran never attacked nor threatened any country. But it has oil. Lots of oil that the US vulture and associate in crime would like to steal, as in Irak and syria . Liars and thieves are twin brothers

        Iran by the way a great and ancient culture, what cannot be said of the savages murderous religious backward israHELL

      • Eurokiwi need to wake up .Remember Hitler was correct on who the trouble-makers were. They have been kicked out of 109 countries in a millennium. Turn your tele off

      • Who always accuses others of being what they are themselves?
        A minority group
        Always the victim
        Democracy?
        Good that You didn’t mention anti Semitism though
        Now that would have been a lie
        Ever heard of Gaza?
        Might pay to have another look at things and fix the glasshouse
        Where is the evidence that Iran has nuclear weapons?
        There is only one country in the immediate vicinity through deception that has nuclear weapons oblivious to IAEA inspections nor treaties who were complicit in the attack by providing intel on sites and nuclear scientists
        Who have also just destroyed all there credibility
        The hypocrisy is truth in plain sight and excruciating
        This was all kicked off on Oct 7th which it has transpired was an AI False Flag covert operation

      • Thats not jew hatred. Thats Israel officials hatred.
        Your projection of baby murdering fanatical ideology applies to Israel far more than anything I have ever seen from Iran. Samson option much

        What is wrong with you.

        20 Iranian children killed by Israel in a Tehran apartment building.

  1. The officials of US and Israel need to be thrown out of New Zealand. Disgusting warmongers.

    Idiot politicians that have tied our defence into their systems.

  2. ‘Yael Holan defended Israel’s actions as self-defence against what she described as “Iran’s near-complete development of nuclear weapons”.
    You lie Holan. It’s not self-defence when its pre-emptive and every year since 2003 up until two months ago, it has been confirmed that Iran is not building a nuclear weapon.
    Watch Tulsi Gabbard at 10.40 confirm that Iran is NOT building a nuclear weapon.

  3. They are closing up shop because this is going to Operation Samson. Iron Dome is a joke and Trump is now in a trap, tied his flag to the Zionists. Netanyahu, the embodiment of Satan on earth, has no option now but to nuke Iran, from the safety of Greece where the swine has fled by plane.

  4. Yael needs to go back to Israel join the IDF and fight their own bl00dy war.

    We’re tired of warmongers and war. Everyone knows Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons. You won’t trick us again.

    We’ve seen if all before.

    American mums and dads won’t be letting their son be used as human collateral for your wars anymore. The world is waking up.

    All wars are bankers wars. Who owns the banks? There’s your answer.

    So yeah keep the embassy well and truly closed for good. Antisemitism my arse. We are ANTI WAR.

  5. Minus EuroKiwi, I’m very proud of you commentators!
    Do the MP’s in Parliament read these comments?
    Probably, and then they selectively ignore the inputs.
    At least Aunty Helen had the balls to first jail the Mossad J3w$ when they planned to use false NZ Passports to commit terrorism, and then Aunty Helen threw the bastards out of New Zealand!
    The GCSB, SIS and NZ Police Intelligence needs to ID the Mossad operatives here in NZ in real time, and then get them OUT of our lives before an Israeli Zionist False Flag is acted on here.
