Diplomatic missions of Israel

There are 71 resident embassies, 18 consulates and five 'special' missions in the 159 states that recognise Israel.

From its inception Israel has been seeking diplomatic recognition in the international community. Its biggest diplomatic coup came with recognition from Egypt and Jordan in the 1970s, leading to embassies being opened in Cairo and Amman. Later several Israeli embassies were opened/reopened in former Eastern Block states at the end of the Cold War. However the prospects of a Middle East peace agreement in the mid-1990s only led to Israeli government offices (appearing as trade representative offices) being opened in a handful of Arab and Islamic states (Niger, Morocco, Tunisia, Oman and Qatar), with the first four having since closed the Israeli offices.
