Israel–Myanmar relations (Hebrew: יחסי ישראל–מיאנמר; Burmese: အစ္စရေး-မြန်မာ ဆက်ဆံရေး) refers to the bilateral relations between Israel and Myanmar (formerly Burma), established in 1953. Myanmar was one of the first countries in Asia and the first country in Southeast Asian to recognize the State of Israel. Today, the countries cooperate in the fields of agriculture, health and education. Israel has an embassy in Yangon, and Myanmar has an embassy in Tel Aviv. Myanmar does not recognize the State of Palestine.
