Bilateral relations
Panama had voted in favor of the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, and was one of the first countries to recognize Israel after it declared Independence on 14 May 1948. Panama supported Israel when it asked to join the United Nations. A ship from Panama provided arms to Israel during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
Israel and Panama signed a cooperation agreement in the fields of culture and tourism in 1963. Until 1974 there were good relations between the countries, but after that year Panama decided to support anti-Israeli resolutions. This change in bilateral relations happened because Panama had disagreements with the USA about the Panama Canal, and the will of Panama to gain the support of the Third World countries, including the Arab world. During those years the relations between Israel and Panama were non-official, but they were still important to Israeli security.
