Czech Republic-Israel relations are foreign relations between the Czech Republic and Israel. The government of Czechoslovakia recognized independence of Israel 5 days after its declaration on May 19, 1948. Diplomatic relations between both countries were established on July 3, 1948. Czechoslovakia supported with military aircraft and weapons newly created Israeli state for several months, however then-new communist government ceased this support and in few years even the diplomatic relations were broken. Communist regime did spread anti-Israeli propaganda, like all then socialist countries. After the Velvet revolution, the relations were renewed. The Czech Republic has an embassy in Tel Aviv and 4 honorary consulates (in Eilat, Haifa, Jerusalem and Ramat Gan). Israel has an embassy in Prague.
There are 3,000 Jews living in the Czech Republic. Both countries are full members of the Union for the Mediterranean.
