They are participating in a weeklong seminar that organizers said is designed to "enhance US-Israel relations at the vital state level."
The National Association of Secretaries of State said it is the first time it has sent a delegation to Israel to work with Project Interchange.
Association president Paul Pate, who is Iowa's secretary of state, said his colleagues are "uniquely on the forefront of today's most complex issues, including election cybersecurity" and will benefit from this week's seminar.
The delegation will also visit Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem, as well as meet with Palestinian leaders in Ramallah.
