The British Embassy in Israel maintains and develops relations between the UK and Israel.
We promote Britain’s security, prosperity and well-being, and regional peace, through partnership with Israel. We deal with political, commercial, security and economic questions of interest to the UK and Israel and provide consular assistance to British nationals in Israel.
The Embassy, including the Consular section, will be closed on Tuesday 23 April and Monday 29 April 2024 for Passover. If you are a British national and need urgent assistance, contact +972 (0)3 725 1222 or +972 (0)2 541 4100. If you experience technical difficulties or if you are in the UK, call +44 1767 667 600.
Following the attacks on Israel, the Prime Minister has deployed UK military to the Eastern Mediterranean to support Israel and reinforce regional stability.
