China has yet to comment on news of the death of Du Wei, who became ambassador in February.
An Israeli police spokesman told Reuters news agency: "As part of the regular procedure, police units are at the scene."
Israel's Channel 12 TV, quoting unnamed medical sources, said initial indications were that Mr Du had died in his sleep of natural causes.Self-isolation on arrival When he arrived in Israel on 15 February, Mr Du had immediately to self-isolate for two weeks because of coronavirus restrictions. In an interview with Israeli newspaper Makor Rishon last month, Mr Du said China was being made the world's scapegoat."That is despicable and should be condemned. The disease is an enemy of the entire humankind and the world should fight it together."
On Friday, his embassy made a scathing attack on US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo who had criticised China's handling of the coronavirus pandemic on a visit to Israel.Related Topics
