Embassies all over the world provide a vital service of bringing together different peoples and introducing cultures to each other. It helps to broaden the horizons of the country and facilitate the exchange of not only people, but ideas as well. As such, the Embassy of Israel London is no different. The Public Affairs department of the Israeli Embassy aims to present and represent the people and the vibrant fabric of Israeli life and enable the residents of the United Kingdom to gain a better understanding of Israel.
There are many different ways in which an embassy can go about this task. It could be as simple as providing email newsletters, lectures and general information to actively taking part in UK culture.
The general aim is to be a source of information that parallels with the cultures of other nations and finds unions and commonalities. This can be articulated through various types of output such as brochures, audiovisual aids, art, as well as output from various other Israeli channels.
At the head of the Israeli Embassy is His Excellency Daniel Taub who has been involved in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. He frequently appears on radio and television as well as giving lectures.
