History
Israel and Zambia first established diplomatic relations in 1966, but then they were interrupted in 1973 following a recommendation of the Organisation of African Unity due to the Yom Kippur War.[1] Relations were restored in 1991, but Zambia's embassy in Tel Aviv was only opened in 2015.[1]
Israel reopened its embassy in Zambia's capital city Lusaka on 20 August 2025, after 52 years of being closed.[2]
