Israel–Federated States of Micronesia relations
Israel – Micronesia relations are diplomatic and other relations between the State of Israel and the Federated States of Micronesia. Israel was among the first countries to establish formal diplomatic relations with Micronesia.
==History==
Micronesia is a close voting ally of Israel at the United Nations and other international organizations, particularly on the resolutions that are critical of Israel. According to the FSM government, the support is owing in part to its Judeo-Christian tradition.〔(President Mori and Members of the FSM Delegation to UN General Assembly Met with Jewish Leaders in NY to Strengthen Friendship ). FSM Permanent Mission to the UN. 28 September 2009〕 Additional reasons for the close bilateral relations include economic interests, with Israel providing aid to the FSM in areas such as agriculture, technical training and health care training.〔(Micronesia-Israel Relations ). Israfax, Canadian Institute for Jewish Research, September 7, 1998, as cited by Jewish Virtual Library.〕〔("Island Medicine" ), Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, October 16, 2002〕〔("Micronesia-Israel Relations" ), Jewish Virtual Library, 1998〕
In 2000, during a State visit to Israel by Micronesian President Leo A. Falcam, the two countries signed a "Protocol on Cooperation" to "give expression to the warm relations between the two states, and Israel's appreciation of the unreserved support it receives from Micronesia in the UN".〔("President of Micronesia Visits Israel" ), Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs, September 12, 2000〕 In 2010, Micronesian President Emanuel Mori conducted another State visit to Israel.〔 Greeting him, Israeli President Shimon Peres described Micronesia as "one of Israel's greatest friends". Mori explained to his counterpart "the vulnerability of Pacific islands to the impacts of climate change".〔 That same year, Peres thanked (non-resident) Micronesian Ambassador Yosiwo P. George for "his country's enduring friendship and 'outstanding' support": "I don't know the size of your country, but I know the size of your friendship." Ambassador George replied that Micronesia and Israel shared "values and interests". He asked Israel for technical and economic assistance, as well as medical training programmes, which Peres promised to supply.〔("Presentation of ambassadorial credentials becomes a family affair" ), ''Jerusalem Post'', January 12, 2010〕〔("Alliance with Israel creates development opportunities for Pacific Islands" ), Media Global, February 4, 2010〕 Israel also supplies Micronesia with experts on citrus crops and irrigation techniques, medical technicians, and scholarships to Israeli colleges.〔("Israel and Pacific republics, united by an island mentality" ), ''Washington Post'', February 1, 2010〕
Micronesia is a former United Nations Trust Territory administered by the United States. It became sovereign in 1986 through a Compact of Free Association, which establishes mutual economic and defence responsibilities between the two countries. The Marshall Islands and Palau -the other two countries which consistently support Israel at the United Nations〔("Palau: Israel's best friend at the UN" ), ''Jerusalem Post'', June 29, 2006〕- are also former U.S. territories bound by the Compact.
