In addition to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will meet with Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi.
With war cabinet minister Benny Gantz dealing with a broken foot, a meeting with Blinken is still unconfirmed.
Blinken will also visit the Kerem Shalom Crossing and Ashdod Port tomorrow afternoon, and will meet with families of American hostages in Tel Aviv.
