Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly removed Fiji from his program of next month's Australasia tour.
He had planned to visit Fiji as part of efforts to bolster Israel's standing in international forums such as the United Nations.
Netanyahu was expected to participate in a summit of leaders of other Pacific island states.
The Jerusalem Post newspaper reported that the visit has been cancelled, with diplomatic officials saying that leg of his trip would be too long and too complicated from a security point of view.
He still intends to visit Singapore and Australia despite political pressure at home as he faces multiple police investigations.
We are currently trying to get a comment from the government.
