The Ambassador’s Office Embassy of Israel London לשכת השגרירה שגרירות ישראל לונדון

It is with immense sorrow that we mourn the death of Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Israel stands in solidarity with the British people and offers its deepest sympathies to the people of the Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies and the entire Commonwealth at this very sad time.

The late Queen was a beacon of hope and a symbol of unity to many. Adored and respected the world over, she was kind hearted and showed great warmth and charm. Having met her, I know that she also possessed remarkable wisdom, bolstered by her astonishing seventy years on the throne. As Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, she was the embodiment of true majesty. She showed unique leadership and will be missed all around the world.

A friend of the Jewish community, the late Queen championed lessons of the past, notably through her private dialogues with Holocaust survivors. She also did much to commemorate the Shoah publicly, such as opening Britain’s first Holocaust memorial.

The late Queen will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers, and those of the whole of Israel, are with the entire Royal Family and the United Kingdom for your loss. May her memory forever be a blessing.

Our thoughts are also with His Majesty King Charles III, as we wish him every strength and guidance upon his accession to the throne.
