Israel's biggest diplomatic coup in the international community came with peace treaties and recognition from Arab countries such as
Egypt in the late 1970s, and
Jordan in the early 1990s, leading to embassies being opened in
Cairo and
Amman. During the late 1980s, several Israeli embassies were opened/reopened in former
Eastern Bloc states as the
Cold War ended. At the beginning of the 1990s, Israel established official relations with the
Soviet Union,
India and
China. The prospects of a
Middle East peace agreement in the mid-1990s led to Israeli government offices appearing as trade representative offices being opened in a handful of Arab states such as
Bahrain,
Qatar,
Tunisia,
Oman and
Morocco. By 2000s, all have since closed the Israeli offices.[3][4][5][6] Israel closed its embassies in
Mauritania and
Venezuela after the
2008 Gaza War, following a request to do so by their national governments. Following the signing of the
Abraham Accords, Israel opened embassies in Abu Dhabi[7] and Manama in 2021,[8][9] a consulate-general in Dubai,[10] and a liaison office in Rabat.[11]
