President Isaac Herzog will visit the National Museum of African American History and Culture on Tuesday, after his meeting with US President Joe Biden.
He will be joined by Senator Cory Booker, Representative Glenn Ivey, Representative Ritchie Torres, Representative Jim Clyburn, Representative Steven Horsford, and Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III.
As Israel faces headwinds in the Democratic Party, building bridges with the African-American community will be a key part of maintaining broad support across the political spectrum.
Leaders of five historically Black colleges and universities were in Israel last week to explore partnerships with Israeli universities.
