Fiji–Israel relations were established in 1970.[1] Relations between Fiji and Israel have generally been satisfactory. There is currently no embassy of Fiji in Israel and neither Israel in Fiji.
History[]
The first major visit to Israel by a Fijian official took place in 1978.[2]
Fiji strained relations with Israel in July 2006, when three Israelis who arrived in Fiji on the 13th were arrested and deported. The three Israelis were detained in a jail cell at Nadi Airport for six hours for alleged mistreatment of Palestinians by Israel.
In 2016, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Fijian prime minister Frank Bainimarama and thanked him.[3][4]
