Overview
- Foreign ministers Gideon Sa’ar and Fernando Aramayo signed a Joint Communiqué in Washington on Dec. 9 that formally reinstates relations.
- The agreement commits both countries to reestablish full ties, appoint ambassadors as soon as possible, exchange delegations, and keep an ongoing diplomatic dialogue.
- Israel outlined planned cooperation with Bolivia in water management, agriculture, health, innovation, security, and the fight against organized crime and narco‑terrorism.
- Bolivia recently lifted visa requirements for Israeli visitors and eased entry rules for Americans, signaling the policy pivot ahead of the signing.
- The renewal fits a broader regional push by Israel, which this week also signed a free trade agreement with Costa Rica under the Isaac Accords initiative.
