This paper examines the State of Israel's attitude toward Christian communities within its territory in the years immediately following its establishment, from 1948 to 1950. The paper examines the creation of the Department for Christian Communities within the Israeli Ministry of Religious Affairs in 1948 and how its representatives sought to establish direct contacts with the heads of local Christian communities and the Holy See. These efforts aimed to understand their perspectives and collaborate on decisions affecting Christian communities in the State of Israel. Additionally, the paper explores the Department's later decision to publish the bulletin Christian News from Israel in 1949 and the book Christians in Israel: A Survey, written in 1950 by Chaim Wardi, an official within the same Department. The analysis highlights the objectives and topics addressed in these publications. By focusing on these three key moments, the paper sheds light on the State of Israel's initial policies toward Christian communities and its efforts to collaborate with their representatives and the Holy See, highlighting both the successes and challenges of these initiatives.
