Prime Minister Yair Lapid takes off from Ben Gurion Airport for Berlin, where he will meet tomorrow with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock.
Steinmeier and Lapid will also meet at the House of the Wannsee Conference with Holocaust survivors who are flying with the prime minister.
Iran’s nuclear program will head the agenda, but the two sides will discuss bilateral ties, Israel- EU relations, energy security, and the war in Ukraine. An agreement on a youth student exchange will also be announced during the trip.
