Abstract

May 2015 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of German-Israeli diplomatic relations. During these fifty years, the two countries have intensified their political and economic ties and drawn closer together in a wide variety of social spheres. They have also launched a number of joint projects such as cooperative business and research endeavors, joint cultural initiatives, and numerous encounter programs for young people from both countries. All these efforts attest to the special significance of the bilateral relations between Israel and Germany, which also shows in the annual consultations between the two governments, which began in 2008 to mark the sixtieth anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel.
