Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found on the streets of the capital drunk and naked apart from bondage gear.

Police in San Salvador found Tzuriel Refael in a street near the Israeli embassy.

He was drunk, his hands were bound and he was only able to identify himself after a rubber ball was removed from his mouth.

An Israeli Foreign Ministry official has described the ambassador's behaviour as an unprecedented embarrassment.

He has been recalled to Israel immediately.

San Salvador was Mr Refael's first posting as ambassador, after he was promoted last year from a technical position in the Foreign Ministry.

The scandal has led to renewed criticism over the way Israel selects its diplomats.

He certainly had a ball... (gag)

A huge number of UK officials have worse stories.

Drunk & in bondage gear... sounds like a perfect night out if you ask me

LOL! It almost sounds like one of those stories from a rag magazine at the supermarket. I liked the part where he couldn't say anything until the ball was taken out of his mouth. LOL!

Agreed (and rarely will I agree with you
