About
the Embassy of Israel
The Embassy
of Israel in Washington DC is Israel’s largest
embassy in the world. As the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
in Israel formulates, implements and presents foreign
policy of the Israeli government, the Embassy works
to present those policies to the United States government.
Thereby the Embassy acts as a liaison to strengthen
the ties between the two governments and increase
diplomatic relations.
The Embassy
of Israel has many departments that work together
with specific aspects of the US government.
