The Israeli Embassy in Athens represents one of 98 consular and diplomatic representations of Israel all over the world.

It later moved to Koumbari St. Today, it is located in a building that was initially constructed as a private residence in 1930.

In the 1970s the building was purchased by the Jewish community of Salonika which offered it to the State of Israel in 1975 to house the Diplomatic Representation.

Following the Greek Government's de jure recognition of the State of Israel in May 1990, the Diplomatic Representation was upgraded to an embassy.

[citation needed] The embassy was closed on 9 March 2020 for two weeks after an employee was diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019.
