The Embassy of Israel in Oslo is the diplomatic mission of Israel in Norway. The embassy also covers Iceland. [1] The embassy building is located at Parkveien 35, behind the Royal Palace.

The embassy building dates from 1892 and is under the protection of the city antiquarian. [2] The embassy was previously located in Drammensveien 82C and moved to its current premises in March 2000. Until 1960, the representation was through the Israeli embassy in Stockholm.

Avi Nir-Feldklein served as ambassador from 22 September 2022 to October 2024. [3] He was recalled following Norway's recognition of Palestine on 28 May 2024. [4]

The Lillehammer affair in 1973 resulted in the expulsion of a security attaché. [5]
