Embassy of Sweden, Tel Aviv
The Embassy of Sweden in Tel Aviv is Sweden's diplomatic mission in Israel. Sweden first recognized Israel de facto in 1949 and de jure in 1950, establishing a legation the following year with Gösta Hedengren as chargé d'affaires. The legation was elevated to embassy status in 1957. While Israel moved its Ministry of Foreign Affairs from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in 1957, Sweden—like most countries—has kept its embassy in Tel Aviv, and the question of relocation has remained unresolved. The embassy represents Sweden in Israel, maintains political dialogue, monitors developments, promotes trade, research, and cultural exchange, and provides consular services. It also manages Sweden's honorary consulates in Eilat and Haifa, while Sweden's Consulate General in Jerusalem reports directly to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs in Stockholm due to the city's special international status. Since 1951 the chancery has moved several times within Tel Aviv and is currently located in the Adgar 360 building. The ambassador's residence has been situated in Herzliya Pituah since 1966, with the current property acquired in 1989 and upgraded over time, including the installation of solar panels enabling energy self-sufficiency.
