The two countries are expected to sign an agreement in Washington, as new center-right President Rodrigo Paz adopts a friendlier stance toward Jerusalem.
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar and his Bolivian counterpart Fernando Aramayo were scheduled to meet in Washington on Tuesday to sign an agreement restoring diplomatic relations between the two nations, Israel’s Foreign Ministry announced Monday.
Bolivia’s Finance Minister José Gabriel Espinoza will also participate in the event, the ministry said.
The agreement ends a two-year diplomatic freeze that began when the previous government, led by the Socialist Mas Party, severed ties with Israel in the wake of Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023 massacre, announcing the move on Nov. 1 of that year. Chile, Colombia and Honduras soon all followed suit, recalling their ambassadors from Israel and downgrading official representation.
