Public Affairs Department

The Department of Public Affairs at the Embassy of Israel aims to provide communities throughout the United Kingdom with information about Israel.

We provide regular email updates, group presentations, lectures by official spokespersons, information on upcoming festivals, invitations to events and a wide assortment of publications.

We bridge the gap between our two countries through outreach to national and local leadership, ministers and MPs, universities, schools, mosques, churches, synagogues, community centres, community and political groups, activist groups, and other organisations interested in developing their knowledge and understanding of Israel.

We develop information and deepen understanding in areas of mutual interest, including culture, politics, society, economics, infrastructure, environment, counter-terrorism, preventing extremism, and current events in the Middle East.

The Public Affairs Department provides access to a range of resources including audiovisual aids, brochures, government statements, connections to Israeli organisations, art and photography exhibits, and a speakers bureau.
