Israel Radio International ( _he. קול ישראל Kol Yisrael) is the official international broadcasting station of Israel.

Operating since 1955, the Voice of Israel's shortwave transmissions on "Reshet hey" ("Network E") broadcasts to the entire world. They are also the main link between Israel and the Jewish diaspora. In its early years, "Kol Zion la'Gola" (קול ציון לגולה) as it was known, was the sole reliable and direct source of information for Jews living in the Arab countries and behind the "Iron Curtain".

Administered by the overseas broadcasting division, it transmits to listeners abroad in 14 languages: English, French, Russian, Bukharan, Georgian, Mugrabian, Yiddish, Tigritian, Ladino, Spanish, Romanian, Hungarian, Persian and Amharic.

Apart from news and broadcasts reflecting events in the country, the channel transmits documentaries on Judaism, the history of the Israeli people, Israeli culture and discussions on immigration and absorption.

As of the summer of 2007, the only Israel Radio International / Reshet Hey produced programming, is Persian. The rest of Israel Radio International, is a relay of the domestic REKA network. For example, the English news broadcasts on REKA and Israel Radio International are now identical.

As of April 1, 2008, the only shortwave broadcasts left are 1.5 hours of Persian aimed at Iran.

As of the same date, they also started a new official Israel Radio (Kol Israel) International webpage, listed below, with live and on-demand audio. The full Israel Radio International feed is now only available via webfeed and via the Amos Middle East spot satellite beam.

The Israel Radio English news may be heard on some radio stations which use the WRN feed, such as Sirius satellite channel 140. These stations do not broadcast at the same schedule as Israel Radio does, they are time delayed.
