"[9] According to the Jewish Chronicle, Foreign Ministry officials and politicians were privately voicing a general sympathy towards the Kosovar cause, however, Israel would still not recognize Kosovo.

[10] Knesset member Ruhama Avraham Balila said in February 2008 that "at present the government of Israel has made [the] decision not to join the group of countries which recognised the independence of Kosovo."

[5][4] In addition, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mentioned that "Kosovo will be the first country with a Muslim majority to open an embassy in Jerusalem".

[6][7] On 14 March 2021, Kosovo opened its embassy in downtown West Jerusalem, although without a ceremony marking the event due to COVID-19 restrictions in Israel.

[26] On 18 June 2024, the State of Israel and the Republic of Kosovo agreed to grant visa-free travel between each others' countries and stays of unspecified length to their citizens.

Kosovar Foreign Minister Donika Gërvalla-Schwarz called the signing of the agreement "a new chapter in promoting our country" in how it would strengthen their economic and educational development, and anticipated future joint activities and programs with Israel.
