President Isaac Herzog will take part in a ceremony in Warsaw marking 80 years since the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, his office announces.

Herzog will attend the event alongside the president of Poland and the chancellor of Germany. The ceremony is slated to take place on April 19, when Herzog will also meet with members of the local community and visit a synagogue.

Herzog is slated to meet with Polish President Andrzej Duda, just a few weeks after Jerusalem and Warsaw moved to fully mend ties following several diplomatic crises between the nations.
