Apostolic Nunciature to Israel

The Apostolic Nunciature to Israel is the nunciature (equivalent to an embassy) of the Holy See to Israel. The head of the nunciature is the Apostolic Nuncio to Israel, who is the holder of a diplomatic position within the Holy See and acts as nuncio (ambassador) of the Holy See to Israel. The office's work takes place in the broader backdrop of Holy See–Israel relations that have evolved considerably since 1994.

Since 1994, the nuncios to Israel have held simultaneous appointments as Nuncios to Cyprus and Apostolic Delegates to Jerusalem and Palestine. The nunciature is located in Tel Aviv.

History

In 1948, the Holy See created the office of Apostolic Delegate to Jerusalem and Palestine with responsibilities in Palestine, Transjordania, and Cyprus. In 1973 the Nunciature of Cyprus was erected.

Diplomatic relations between the Holy See and State of Israel were established in 1994 following the signing of the Fundamental Agreement between the Holy See and the State of Israel on 30 December 1993. Archbishop Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo, who had been Apostolic Delegate to Jerusalem and Palestine since 1990, was appointed the first Apostolic Nuncio to Israel.
