Cambodia–Israel relations are the official relations between Cambodia and Israel. Both countries established diplomatic ties in 1960. In 1972, Cambodia opened its embassy in Israel in Jerusalem.[1] However, Israel cut its ties with Cambodia in 1975 due to the rise of the Khmer Rouge regime. Ties were restored in 1993.[2]
