Diplomatic missions in Israel are foreign embassies and consulates in Israel. As of 7 September 2026, there are 97 embassies in Israel, of which 88 are located in the Tel Aviv District and 9 are located in Jerusalem. In addition to their embassy, some countries also maintain a consulate in Eilat, Haifa or Jerusalem.

In April 2018, Guatemala announced that their embassy would move to Jerusalem, which it did the following month. Kosovo and Honduras followed in 2021. Paraguay's embassy was briefly located in Jerusalem in 2018, then returned to the Tel Aviv District after a few months. Papua New Guinea followed in 2023. Paraguay returned its embassy to Jerusalem in December 2024. In June 2026, Somaliland opened its embassy in Jerusalem.
In 2025, the President of Argentina, Javier Milei, announced his intention to move the Argentine embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. This move would make Argentina the second South American country to relocate its embassy to Jerusalem, aligning with similar actions taken by countries such as the United States. The decision was seen as symbolically significant, particularly given the presence of a large and influential Jewish community in Argentina, one of the most prominent in Latin America.
Eight countries operate consulates-general in Jerusalem accredited to the Palestinian territories. These are not diplomatic missions to Israel, but rather to Palestine.

Jerusalem This is the list of countries that operate consulates within the Jerusalem municipal boundary but are accredited to the city of Jerusalem, West Bank and Gaza Strip only. These missions are not directly accredited to the Palestinian Authority and also not to Israel. Between 1844 and 2019, the United States maintained a consulate-general in Jerusalem that conducted relations with the Palestinians. In March 2019, the consulate general was merged into the new US Embassy in Jerusalem and many of its responsibilities were assumed by the embassy's new Palestinian Affairs Unit. Countries listed below already maintain separate embassies to Israel. For diplomatic missions accredited to the Palestinian Authority directly located inside the Palestinian territories of West Bank and Gaza Strip, see: List of diplomatic missions in Palestine.
