Jeremy Issacharoff (Hebrew: ג'רמי יששכרוף; born 1955 in London) is an Israeli diplomat who served as Israel’s Ambassador to Germany from 2017 to 2021,[1] succeeding Yakov Hadas-Handelsman. Before that, he was Vice Director General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.[2][3] He has also served as deputy director general for strategic affairs and as such, has had the opportunity to be involved in various issues relating to Iran's nuclear program.[4]
While he was the third highest ranking official at the Israeli Embassy in Washington in 1994, he was the first Israeli to have official contact with the UAE.[5]
In 2020, Issacharoff spoke out about anti-Semitic[6] and anti-Muslim attacks in Halle and Hanau, saying "No democratic society can survive if minorities are constantly threatened or harmed. ... The Holocaust has shown us all where such hatred leads."[7] He has also criticized Rafi Eitan for his public endorsement of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party writing “It is hard to believe how the person who captured Eichmann … is able to praise German right-wingers who so admire the Nazi past and wish on us that they become the alternative of Europe! Sad and shameful.”[8][9]
