President Isaac Herzog will hold a private meeting with Honduran president-elect Nasry “Tito” Asfura at the President’s Residence in Jerusalem tomorrow, his office announces.
The conservative president-elect, who is of Palestinian Christian descent and is expected to improve ties with Israel after four years of leftist rule in the Central American country, is also expected to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar during his visit this week.
