Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman was set to fly to the United States on Thursday evening for a multi-day visit to include meetings with top US officials and leaders of the US Jewish community.
In New York, the foreign minister is to meet with Mayor Bill de Blasio. He will also hold meetings with American Jewish Committee Executive Director David Harris, Anti-Defamation League Director Abraham Foxman and Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations President Malcolm Hoenlein.
Liberman is to meet in Washington, DC, with his American counterpart John Kerry on Wednesday, having met the previous day with members of the House Foreign Relations committee, including chairman Ed Royce, and members of the Senate Foreign Relations committee, led by chairman Robert Menendez.
Next week, President Shimon Peres is scheduled to make a three-day official visit to China.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
