World map showing status of Israel's international relations

International recognition of Israel was achieved following a majority vote by the United Nations in favor of the establishment of a Jewish state. Israel [[Israeli Declaration of Independence| declared its independence] at midnight on May 14, 1948. That same day, the United States recognized the provisional Jewish government as de facto authority of the new Jewish state. De jure recognition was extended on January 31, 1949.[1]

From 1948 to the late 1960s, Israel managed to establish diplomatic relations with almost all nations of Western Europe, North and South America, as well as much of Africa. However, the Six-Day War and the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 led many African and Asian nations to break ties with Israel owing to considerable pressure and the threat of an oil embargo being placed by oil-rich Arab countries. Israel's recognition of and entering negotiations with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) led to many African, Asian and even Arab nations restoring diplomatic relations. However, hostile reactions to the 2008 Gaza blockade and the 2006 Israeli-Lebanese War led to another incidence of multiple states breaking relations with Israel.
