Chinese ambassador to Israel mysteriously killed

Chinese Ambassador to Israel Do Wei was found mysteriously dead at his home on the outskirts of the controversial capital, Tel Aviv.

According to news agency reports, according to the Chinese embassy's website, an Israeli police spokesman did not give a reason for the death of the 57-year-old Chinese ambassador, who was appointed ambassador to Israel in February this year.

The spokesman said that police units were present at the spot as per normal procedure. According to initial reports, according to Haaretz Daily, Dove was found dead in his bed with no signs of torture on his body.

An Israeli newspaper report quoted a first aid service as saying that Dove's death was caused by a heart attack. Dove had previously served as a diplomat in Ukraine. He was married and had a son, but Dove's wife and son were not with him in Israel.

Dove's death comes at a time when US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has criticized China's response to a recent visit to Israel to deal with the corona virus. In a statement issued on May 15, the Chinese embassy condemned Pompeo's statement and denied that China had initially covered up the corona virus crisis.

In addition, according to the Qatari broadcaster Al Jazeera, the Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Yoval Rotem, said that he offered his condolences to the Chinese Deputy Ambassador for Dove's death and offered all possible assistance to the Chinese embassy in this regard.

According to the BBC, Israel's Channel 12 TV quoted unnamed medical sources as saying that according to preliminary information, Dove's death was due to medical reasons while he was asleep.

Following Do Wei's appointment, a statement on the website of the Chinese embassy in Israel praised the relations between China and Israel since he took office.

Self-imposed isolation on arrival in Israel. After arriving in Israel on February 15 due to Corona virus restrictions, the Chinese ambassador immediately went into self-imposed isolation for two weeks.

In an interview with the Israeli newspaper Makor Rishun last month, he said China was being made a scapegoat. Dove said that more than once in history, groups of individuals have been accused of spreading global epidemics.

"This is reprehensible and should be condemned. This disease is the enemy of all humanity and the world must fight it together,"
