Why is Israel closing ALL its Embassies?

Found on reddit today.

Due to the decision of the Ministry of Finance to breach understandings and to alter a protocol that has been in place for several decades, we are forced to close our Embassy. No consular services will be provided and no one will be allowed to enter.
Israeli diplomats are committed at all times to strive to enhance Israel’s strength and resilience. Unfortunately, the decision of the MOF does not leave us any choice, since the vital interests of Israel have been harmed. We hope for prompt solving of this crisis

Israel might be withdrawing its overt tentacles from the visible world, though most likely keeping all covert business active. But why? It certainly is not due financial woes, especially with all the money the US throws at them.

Is a major retrenchment of foreign policy in the offing?
Does withdrawal of the US from Syria have anything to do with this?
Does Bibi's legal worries have anything to do with this?
Is a pending split with KSA in the offing?
Will the car run over the cliff in tomorrow's episode?

Damn. This is giving me a headache.

Can someone make sense out of this?

@laurel As they say in high school essays: compare and contrast the Israeli Embassy in Washington D. C. with one of Sheldon Adelson's homes.
