The reported rebuke of Seibert coincides with a recent Fox News Digital report about criticisms leveled against the Biden administration’s alleged "blatant interference" in Israeli domestic affairs. Benjamin Weinthal reports on Israel, Iran, Syria, Turkey and Europe for Fox News Digital. Benjamin has contributed articles to The Wall Street Journal, The Jerusalem Post, Foreign Policy, Haaretz, Forbes and The New York Post. You can follow Benjamin on Twitter @BenWeinthal.
Channel 14 reported in late May, that "Seibert was called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where he was rebuked by the head of the Europe Division, Daniel Meron, following a series of events that were viewed harshly in Israel. Among other things, Seibert participated in the ‘Alternative Day of Remembrance’ ceremony in Tel Aviv."
Israel’s MFA and Israeli critics of Seibert took great umbrage at Seibert for his role in reportedly denigrating one of the most important and solemn days in Israel: "Memorial Day for Israel's Fallen Soldiers and Victims of Hostile Acts."
