Embassy of Russia in Tel Aviv（Шаблон:Lang-ru ; Шаблон:Lang-he）is the official diplomatic mission of the Russian Federation in the State of Israel. The embassy was originally opened in 1948, was temporarily closed between 1967 and 1991, and has since been reopened and is currently functioning.
Background
The Russian Empire established the Russian Consulate General in Jerusalem in December 1858.
During WWI, the Russians and Ottomans were at war with each other, and as such the Russian delegation at the consulate was forced to relocate to Egypt. Following the October Revolution in 1917, the Soviets assumed all control over Russian foreign affairs. Due to their enmity against the British Empire, they did not view British control of Mandatory Palestine highly, and therefore did not reopen this consulate.
History
The Soviet Union officially recognized Israel on May 17, 1948, and subsequently opened its embassy in Israel a month later. That embassy was located at the Levin House, which is still nicknamed the "Russian Embassy House" today.
In 1953, the Attack on Russian Embassy in Israel was carried out by the anti-Soviet Jewish organization Kingdom of Israel. This incident significantly soured relations between the two nations, though diplomatic relations still continued for the time.
The embassy was relocated later that year to Ramat Gan,[1] and remained until the Six-Day War in 1967, which officially severed diplomatic relations between the two.
After the Dissolution of the Soviet Union, the relations between the two countries renewed, and an embassy was re-established in HaYarkon Street, where it still stands today.
