Eitan Na’eh (Hebrew: איתן נאה; 17 September 1963 – 19 January 2026) was an Israeli diplomat. He served as ambassador to Bahrain and Turkey.

Na’eh was appointed Israel’s ambassador to Turkey on 15 November 2016.[1] He presented his credentials to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on 5 December 2016, at the Presidential Complex in Ankara.[2]

In May 2018, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs expelled Na’eh in response to the killing of 60 Palestinians by Israeli forces.[3] The Turkish government invited journalists to film a security check conducted on Na’eh as he left the country.[4][5] The Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs protested the check.[4]

In January 2021, Israel opened an embassy in Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), with Na’eh serving as head of the mission until 11 October 2021.[6]

On 2 September 2021, it was reported that he was appointed Israel’s ambassador to Bahrain, subject to government approval.[7] On 28 December 2021, he submitted his letter of accreditation to King Hamad, officially starting his tenure as the first ambassador of Israel to Bahrain.[8][9] On 2 November 2023, Bahrain announced his departure and recalled its ambassador to Israel.[10]
