Israeli Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates Yossi Shelley has drawn criticism from Emirati officials after reportedly violating the country's security protocols by posting a photo from inside Israel's embassy in Abu Dhabi. The incident comes amid a series of controversies surrounding Shelley's conduct, including previous reports of inappropriate behavior at a local bar and repeated clashes with his security detail over protocol violations. Emirati officials are said to be frustrated with Shelley's actions, and he is now considered a 'lame duck' ambassador, with few willing to meet with him. Israeli officials are reportedly seeking a replacement for Shelley, who has a history of contentious behavior in previous public roles.
