Bolivia–Israel Relations
The Plurinational State of Bolivia and the State of Israel first established a diplomatic relationship with each other in 1950, two years after the Israeli Declaration of Independence and one year after Bolivia recognized Israel's sovereignty.

In 2009, after an uninterrupted 59 years, Bolivian president Evo Morales severed the country's government-level ties with Israel for the first time, decrying the Palestinian death toll in the Israeli military' ...
