Israel, US issue joint stamp to mark 70 years of ties
Israel and the United States issue a joint stamp for the Hanukkah holiday to celebrate 70 years of diplomatic ties between the country.
The new stamp design is unveiled simultaneously at ceremonies in the US and Israel. The US ceremony is held at the Touro Synagogue in Newport, Rhode Island, the oldest synagogue in the country.
“Today’s joint stamp issue is a symbol of the shared values and the cultural affinity between the United States and Israel,” US Ambassador David Friedman says at the ceremony in Jerusalem.
