History of the bilateral relations between Israel and Poland
Today, Israel and Poland enjoy very solid and profound relations, which include close cooperation in the political, military, economic, cultural and educational spheres. Those relations are based on mutual interests, shared values and similar analysis of the situation in the international arena, but they are also a natural continuation of the joint Polish-Jewish history of almost 1,000 years. The next chapter reviews the historical development of the relations between Poland and Israel.
At the end of September 1948, Israeli ambassador Israel Barizlai arrived in Warsaw, obtained official status, and began working at the Bristol Hotel in Warsaw on September 29, 1948. This meant the establishment of the first diplomatic mission of the State of Israel in the world.
