President Isaac Herzog again says the Israel-US relationship should remain above politics, ahead of elections in both countries and some friction over far-right lawmakers in Israel.
Herzog has delivered the same message several times during his two-day visit to the US.
“We have elections in Israel and you are having midterm elections in the United States. But one thing is clear, and I think this visit epitomizes it best, is that our friendship, our strong bond, transcends all political differences, and opinions and parties,” Herzog says while meeting US President Joe Biden at the White House.
“I hope that together we can continue to work towards the well-being of the State of Israel, the United States, and the world at large,” he 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.
