A foreign ministry official described Ambassador Tzuriel Refael's behaviour as an unprecedented embarrassment.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel confirmed that lurid reports of the incident in the Israeli press were accurate.
Haaretz website reports that police found Mr Refael in the Israeli embassy compound where he had been found bound, gagged and naked apart from sado-masochistic sex accessories.
