The Embassy of the United Kingdom (commonly referred to as the British Embassy) is located in Tel Aviv. It is the chief diplomatic mission of the United Kingdom in Israel.




History


It is located on Hayarkon Street in the Old North area of the city. Simon Walters has been British Ambassador to Israel since August 2023.
The United Kingdom also maintains a Consulate-General in East Jerusalem, with a Consul-General not being accredited to any state, as "an expression of [the UK] view that no state has sovereignty over Jerusalem". The United Kingdom also has an honorary consul in Eilat.
In 2009, the United Kingdom planned to move the British Embassy to the Kirya Tower. However, the Foreign Office dropped these plans because the building is part-owned by Africa-Israel Investments Ltd, a company which has built in the Palestinian territories. Israel's ambassador to London said the decision was "appeasement to those who slander Israel".
