Department of State

ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ-Israel Commission

The Hon. Tahesha Way, Secretary of State

History

The mission of the ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ-Israel Commission is to foster economic, scientific, educational and cultural ties with the State of Israel, one of ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ's most important trading partners.

In 1988, under Governor Thomas H. Kean, a Sister State Agreement was signed between the State of Israel and the ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ.

The ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ-Israel Commission was established in 1989 to implement the goals of this agreement - to promote the development of trade, culture and educational exchanges; encourage the development of capital investment and joint business ventures; and foster a spirit of cooperation between the citizens of the State of Israel and the ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ.

The ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ-Israel Commission was placed under the purview of the Department of State in July, 2007. Prior to this, the Commission came under the ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Commerce, Economic Development & Tourism Commission (which is now the ﾓ｣ｻｨﾊﾓﾆｵ Commerce Commission).
