A delegation of 10 ambassadors to the United States and the United Nations arrive at Ben Gurion Airport for a weeklong tour of Israel and meetings with Israeli officials.
The group consists of ambassadors from Australia, Argentina, Bhutan, Ukraine, Kenya, Guatemala, the Czech Republic, Hungary, the Dominican Republic and Tonga, who will be led by Israeli Ambassador to the UN Gilad Erdan.
“A visit to Israel reveals the truth and leaves a mark on everyone who comes here,” says Erdan. “I set a goal for myself to bring to Israel as many ambassadors to the US and UN as possible to strengthen our position in the world and prove Israel’s right to defend itself.”
The trip includes a visit to Yad Vashem, security briefings with IDF officials and meetings with residents of communities near the Gaza Strip and in the north.
“We will present the truth about Israel to the ambassadors and I am convinced that they will return to their countries and to the UN and Washington with a clearer understanding of Israel’s confrontation with terrorist organizations,” Erdan says.
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.
