Bilateral relations Israeli embassy in Berlin , Germany Germany–Israel relations ( German : Deutsch-israelische Beziehungen ; Hebrew : יחסי גרמניה-ישראל ) are the diplomatic relationship between the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Israel . After the end of World War II and the Holocaust , relations gradually thawed as West Germany offered to pay reparations to Israel in 1952 and diplomatic relations were officially established in 1965. Nonetheless, a deep mistrust of the German people remained widespread in Israel and the Jewish diaspora communities worldwide for many years after. Relations between East Germany and Israel never materialised. Today, Israel and Germany maintain a "special relationship" based on shared beliefs and a combination of historical perspectives.A central pillar of this relationship is Germany’s commitment to Israel’s security as part of its Staatsräson ( reason of state ), a policy that has also sparked domestic and international debate regarding its political and legal implications.

Israel is represented in Germany through its embassy in Berlin and its Consulate-General in Munich .
