Israel and Bolivia will officially resume diplomatic relations on Tuesday, two years after La Paz severed ties over the war in Gaza, Israel’s Foreign Ministry announced.
According to the ministry, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar is set to sign the agreement in Washington alongside his Bolivian counterpart, Fernando Aramayo. Aramayo wrote on X that he was “happy about this new chapter we’re about to write in the relationship between Bolivia and Israel.”
