Israel Opens Embassy in Tallinn as Sa'ar Drives Tech and Security Partnership

The move links Estonia’s digital governance strengths with Israeli cybersecurity expertise to drive practical cooperation.

Overview

  • Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar inaugurated the embassy in Tallinn on November 11 and held a joint press conference with Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna.
  • An Israeli delegation of about fifty companies joined a joint seminar focused on ICT, defense, and cyber, with bilateral business meetings planned.
  • Sa'ar cited reports of an Iranian attempt to assassinate Israel’s ambassador in Mexico and said Iran targets Israeli diplomats, vowing to keep expanding ties.
  • The Tallinn mission is the third embassy Sa'ar has opened this year, following new embassies in Moldova and Zambia.
  • Sa'ar’s schedule in Estonia included meetings with Prime Minister Kristen Michal, Speaker Lauri Hussar, and Defense Minister Hanno Pevkur, as both countries build on relations established in 1992.
