At a time when Israel is increasingly viewed through fast-moving headlines and competing narratives, ELNET’s European Ambassadors Briefings provide a vital space for direct, substantive, and candid dialogue. Bringing together European ambassadors and senior diplomats with leading Israeli policymakers, security experts, and public figures, these intimate gatherings offer an opportunity to move beyond official statements and engage with the complex realities shaping Israel and the region. Covering critical issues from Iran and regional security to Gaza, normalization, and Israel’s relations with Europe, the briefings foster deeper understanding and trusted relationships.
By providing European diplomats with direct access to Israeli perspectives and encouraging open exchanges on difficult issues, ELNET strengthens an essential channel between Israel and European decision-makers. In an era of polarization and geopolitical uncertainty, such sustained dialogue is more than public diplomacy—it is an important investment in stronger, better-informed, and more resilient Europe-Israel relations.
ELNET provides European ambassadors with firsthand access to the places and communities at the heart of Israel’s security challenges. Through strategic field visits, including to Israel’s northern border, ambassadors can witness the realities of a country at war, engage directly with those affected, and gain perspectives that cannot be fully conveyed from afar. These experiences enrich diplomatic understanding and help ensure that discussions about Israel and the region are grounded in the realities on the ground.
