About the embassy

The Embassy of Israel to the United States in Washington, D.C. is Israel’s largest embassy in the world. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Israel formulates, implements and presents foreign policy of the Israeli government; the Embassy in turn 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.

The Embassy of Israel has many departments that work with the US government on a variety of specific issues. Departments include those of the Ambassador, Deputy Chief of Mission, Political Department, Congressional Affairs, Public Diplomacy (incl. Culture and Academia), Press, Economic Mission, Commercial Mission, Defense and Armed Forces Attaché, and Police and Security Attaché.
