On 20th July, we launched negotiations between the United Kingdom and Israel for an upgraded, innovation-focused Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with services at its heart.

The first round of negotiations with Israel were completed in September.

An upgraded FTA with Israel will cement our relationship with a rapidly growing economy, taking our trading relationship to the next level.
