Israeli Consulate in Boston now covers Connecticut

BOSTON – As of Aug. 15, the Consulate General of Israel to New England will assume all diplomatic responsibilities between Israel and the state of Connecticut. 

The transfer is a result of a restructuring of jurisdictions for Israeli consulates in the United States. The Consulate General of Israel in New York, whose previous jurisdiction was the states of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, will now represent Israel in the states of New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Delaware. Connecticut will now be under the jurisdiction of the Consulate General of Israel to New England, located in Boston.

According to Consul General Yehuda Yaakov in a news release, “New England and Israel have made great strides together in business and innovation, academics and politics.” He is excited to add Connecticut to the roster, and to “continue building upon existing partnerships and foster new ones.”
