Israel said Thursday it has apologized for the "deplorable behavior" of a junior diplomat at its embassy in the city-state who allegedly used a Singapore flag as a table cloth during a party, AFP reports.
Local media said Singapore's foreign ministry had summoned the Israeli ambassador after a police report was filed about the incident on Sunday and the identity of the diplomat was revealed.
"The Embassy of the State of Israel in Singapore was appalled to learn of deplorable behavior displayed by one of its junior staff members and expresses its sincere apologies," the Israeli embassy said in a press statement.
