Israel's ambassador to Switzerland and two other diplomats face possible dismissal for Twitter posts seen as critical of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

The disciplining of the three comes amid heightened Israeli public scrutiny over the impartiality of civil servants before a March 17 election that is widely seen as a referendum on the right-wing Netanyahu, now in his third term.

Yigal Caspi, the envoy to Bern, had retweeted remarks by Israeli journalists disparaging Netanyahu's planned March 3 speech to the US Congress about Iran, an event that looks likely to deepen rifts with the Obama administration.
