Israel's biggest diplomatic coup in the international community came with peace treaties and recognition from Arab countries such as Egypt in the late 1970s, and Jordan in the early 1990s, leading to embassies being opened in Cairo and Amman. During the late 1980s, several Israeli embassies were opened/reopened in former Eastern Bloc states as the Cold War ended. At the beginning of the 1990s, Israel established official relations with the Soviet Union, India and China. The prospects of a Middle East peace agreement in the mid-1990s led to Israeli government offices appearing as trade representative offices being opened in a handful of Arab states such as Bahrain, Qatar, Tunisia, Oman and Morocco. By 2000s, all have since closed the Israeli offices.

Following the signing of the Abraham Accords, Israel opened embassies in Abu Dhabi [7] and Manama in 2021, [8] [9] a consulate-general in Dubai, [10] and a liaison office in Rabat. [11]
