Israeli public diplomacy in the Gaza war refers to the Israeli effort towards bringing more favor of global public opinion to Israel and its actions during the Gaza war. These efforts take place in the context that a week after the outbreak of the war following the 7 October 2023 surprise attack on Israel, the Israeli Ministry of Information was closed and the office's resources were transferred to the new Rebirth Administration. The role of explaining Israel's actions has been the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs since then. On the public side, the Israeli home front also conducts outreach activities, mainly on social networks, in addition to famous personalities and former politicians defending Israel, especially on world television. Prominent leaders in the world, especially in the West such as Germany, the Netherlands, France, the United Kingdom, and especially the United States, expressed support for Israel, and even visited the nation during conflict. In the spring of 2026, Israel quintupled its public relations budget, allocating roughly US$730 million to improve its image internationally.
