List of Israeli ambassadors to Cuba
The list of Israeli ambassadors to Cuba provides an overview of the heads of the Israeli diplomatic mission in Cuba until diplomatic relations were broken off.
After Ricardo Alarcón , Cuba's ambassador to the United Nations, described the Six Day War as a war of aggression in 1967 and equated the Israeli approach with that of National Socialist Germany , the government of Levi Eschkol no longer sent an ambassador to Cuba. After the Yom Kippur War , Fidel Castro called back Ricardo Wolf , whom he had sent as ambassador to Tel Aviv in 1960 . Wolf stayed in Israel. Rafi Eitan's engagement in Cuba in the 1970s took place without diplomatic accompaniment.
