Embassy in Tel Aviv

Dear compatriots, dear Israeli friends,

Welcome to the website of the Embassy of Belgium in Tel Aviv.

I arrived here, together with my family, in mid-July 2024 as the newly appointed Belgian Ambassador.

I am honoured to serve my country and my fellow compatriots from here for the next 4 years. Israel is a very special and rich country, and, because of its specificity, it plays a defining role on the world stage. I am already looking forward to building and strengthening the ties between our countries, including through more people-to-people contacts, during my term.

I am well aware that I have arrived at a very difficult moment for Israel and its people. I sincerely hope that this situation will soon evolve and that the path to a lasting peace for everyone living in the region will be embarked upon. I will also be committed to this every day.

Moreover, it is my great responsibility to provide both an efficient administrative service, as well as constant support to Belgians who are here in the country either permanently or only temporarily. In this capacity, I am particularly pleased to be able to count on a motivated and available team, whose commitment and experience offer you the best guarantee of success and quality.

With the help of the entire embassy team, I will do my best to accomplish this mission with great commitment and enthusiasm.

My door is always open to you.

Cordially.

Stefaan Thijs
