As of September 2025, theState of Israel is recognized as asovereign state by 160 of the other 192member states of the United Nations, or approximately 84% of all UN members. TheState of Israel was formally established by theIsraeli Declaration of Independence on 14 May 1948, and was admitted to theUnited Nations (UN) as afull member state on 11 May 1949.[1][2] It also maintains bilateral ties with all of theUNSC Permanent Five. 28[a] member states have either never recognized Israel or have withdrawn their recognition; others have severed diplomatic relations without explicitly withdrawing their recognition. Additionally, many non-recognizing countries havechallenged Israel's existence—predominantly those in theMuslim world—due to significant animosity stemming from theIsraeli–Palestinian conflict and theArab–Israeli conflict.[3]
On 14 May 1948, theIsraeli Declaration of Independence[4] formally established aJewish state in part of the formerBritish Mandate of Palestine, in accordance with theUnited Nations Partition Plan. TheArab League was opposed to any partition and to the establishment ofIsrael, and anArab coalition jointly invaded the territory of the newly formed country one day after its independence, sparking the1948 Arab–Israeli War.
Following Israel's establishment, theIsraeli provisional government was established to govern theYishuv; and while military operations were still in progress, it was promptly grantedde facto recognition by theUnited States,[5][6] followed byIran (which had voted against the Partition Plan),Guatemala,Iceland,Nicaragua,Romania, andUruguay. TheSoviet Union was the first country to grantde jure recognition to Israel on 17 May 1948,[7] followed by Nicaragua,Czechoslovakia,Yugoslavia, andPoland.[8] The United States extendedde jure recognition after thefirst Israeli election,[9] on 31 January 1949.[10]
By the late 1960s, Israel had established diplomatic relations with almost all of the countries ofWestern Europe,North America,South America, andSub-Saharan Africa combined.
To put additional diplomatic, economic, and military pressure on Israel in the wake of the1967 Arab–Israeli War, oil-producing Arab countries imposedan oil embargo on countries that had bilateral relations with Israel. As a result, many African and Asian countries broke off their ties with Israel. The Soviet Union alsoshifted its support in favour of the Arab cause against Israel during this time, leading most countries of theEastern Bloc to sever diplomatic ties in 1967; these included the Soviet Union itself, as well as Poland, Czechoslovakia,Hungary, andBulgaria. Other countries in the Soviet sphere of influence, such as thePeople's Republic of China andMongolia, also did not establish relations with Israel. Diplomatic relations with these countries were restored or established following the collapse of the Eastern Bloc in 1989. The Soviet Union restored relations in October 1991, and new countries that had gained independence after thedissolution of the Soviet Union also recognised Israel in their own right. China established relations in January 1992.
On 1 September 1967, the then-eight members of the Arab League issued theKhartoum Resolution, which included three pledges that forbade recognition, peace, and negotiations with Israel. However,Egypt,Jordan, andMauritania gradually recognized Israel, though Mauritania broke off ties and withdrew recognition in 2010. As part of the2020 Abraham Accords, theUnited Arab Emirates,Bahrain,Sudan, andMorocco all established normalized bilateral ties with Israel.[11][12]Pressure was again exerted by the Arab League after the1973 Arab–Israeli War, which ledCuba,Mali, and theMaldives to break off ties with Israel.Niger severed bilateral ties with Israel during theSecond Intifada, andVenezuela broke off ties after the2008–2009 Gaza War.
Following Israel's recognition of and entering into negotiations with thePalestine Liberation Organization (PLO), many African, Asian, and Arab countries either restored or established diplomatic relations with Israel. TheVatican began a bilateral relationship with Israel in 1994. Some countries[b][c] broke or suspended relations during the2006 Lebanon War and after theblockade of the Gaza Strip. AlthoughGuinea broke diplomatic ties with Israel in 1967, Israel's extensive support for Guinea duringits fight against an Ebola virus epidemic led to the re-establishment of bilateral relations in 2016.[18] Nicaragua restored relations in March 2017;Chad did likewise in January 2019.[19] The most recent country to establish diplomatic relations with Israel wasBhutan, on 12 December 2020.[20]
On 15 May 1948, one day afterits independence,Israel applied for membership with theUnited Nations (UN), but the application was not acted on by theSecurity Council. Israel's second application was rejected by the Security Council on 17 December 1948 by a 5-to-1 vote, with 5 abstentions.Syria was the sole negative vote; theUnited States,Argentina,Colombia, theSoviet Union, and theUkrainian SSR voted in favour; andBelgium, theUnited Kingdom,Canada,China, andFrance abstained.
Israel's application was renewed in 1949 after thefirst Israeli election. BySecurity Council Resolution 69 on 4 March 1949, the UN Security Council voted 9-to-1 in favour of Israeli membership, withEgypt voting against and the United Kingdom abstaining.[21] Those voting in favour were China, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, Argentina, Canada,Cuba,Norway, and the Ukrainian SSR.
On 11 May 1949, theUN General Assembly, by the requisite two-thirds majority of its then-58 members, approved the application to admit Israel to the UN byGeneral Assembly Resolution 273.[22][23] The vote in the General Assembly was 37 to 12, with 9 abstentions. Those that voted in favour of Israel were: Argentina,Australia, Bolivia, theByelorussian SSR, Canada,Chile, China, Colombia,Costa Rica, Cuba,Czechoslovakia, theDominican Republic,Ecuador, France,Guatemala,Haiti,Honduras,Iceland,Liberia,Luxembourg,Mexico, theNetherlands,New Zealand,Nicaragua, Norway,Panama,Paraguay,Peru, thePhilippines,Poland, the Ukrainian SSR,South Africa, the Soviet Union, the United States,Uruguay,Venezuela, andYugoslavia. Those that voted against were six of the then-seven members of theArab League (Egypt,Iraq,Lebanon,Saudi Arabia, Syria, andYemen) as well asAfghanistan,Burma,Ethiopia,India,Iran, andPakistan. Those abstaining were: Belgium,Brazil,Denmark, El Salvador,Greece,Siam,Sweden,Turkey, and the United Kingdom.[24] Many of the countries that voted in favour or had abstained had already recognized Israel before the UN vote, at least on ade facto basis. Of these countries, Cuba and Venezuela have since withdrawn recognition.

As of June 2024[update], 164 of the 192 totalmember states of theUnited Nations (UN) recognize Israel. 28 UN member states do not recognize Israel: 15 members of theArab League (Algeria,Comoros,Djibouti,Iraq,Kuwait,Lebanon,Libya,Mauritania,Oman,Qatar,Saudi Arabia,Somalia,Syria,Tunisia, andYemen); ten non-Arab members of theOrganization of Islamic Cooperation (Afghanistan,Bangladesh,Brunei,Indonesia,Iran,Malaysia,Maldives,Mali,Niger, andPakistan); andCuba,North Korea, andVenezuela.[25] In 2002, the Arab League proposed the recognition of Israel byArab countries as a pathway towards a resolution of theIsraeli–Palestinian conflict under theArab Peace Initiative. Following theAbraham Accords, which were signed in September 2020 between Israel and theUnited Arab Emirates andBahrain, thePalestinian National Authority condemned any Arab agreement with Israel as dishonourable, describing them as a betrayal to thePalestinian cause and a blow to their quest for anindependent Palestinian state.[26]
The passports of some countries are not valid for travel to Israel, including Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, and Pakistan. Thirteen countriesdo not accept Israeli passports: Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen.[27] Some of these countries also do not accept passports of other countries whose holder has an Israeli visa or stamp on it. The stamp may be a visa stamp, or a stamp on entry or departure. Because of these issues, Israeli immigration controls do not stamp passports with an entry visa, instead issuing a separate insert which is discarded on departure. However, a stamp of another country which indicates that the person has entered Israel may frustrate that effort. For example, if anEgyptian departure stamp is used in any passport at theTaba Border Crossing, that is an indication that the person entered Israel, and a similar situation arises for land crossings intoJordan. Some countries also ban direct flights and overflights to and from Israel.[28] In August 2020, the United Arab Emirates permitted direct flights from Israel, and Saudi Arabia and Bahrain authorized overflights for such flights.[29] On 8 October 2020, Israel and Jordan reached an agreement to allow flights to cross over both countries' airspace.[30]
