It will be Herzog's first political visit to Washington since taking office, during which he will meet with Biden in a bid to strengthen Israeli-American ties. He is also expected to hold policy meetings with senior administration officials, senators, and Jewish community leaders.
With Biden, Herzog will discuss a number of diplomatic, security, and economic issues. They will also focus on furthering joint initiatives aimed at tackling the climate crisis.
Herzog scheduled the visit after Biden invited him to Washington during his own Middle East trip last July. According to a statement released by Herzog's office, the visit aims to strengthen the strong ties between Washington and Israel and expresses the deep bond that exists between the two countries that transcend any political disagreement.
The president will be accompanied by Israeli Ambassador to Washington Michael Herzog as well as the US Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides.
