Opposition Leader Yair Lapid will be flying to Washington next week, an aide says.
A source in Lapid’s office tells The Times of Israel that the focus of the visit will be “strengthening the Israel-US strategic relationship, bringing the hostages back home and Israel’s role in the region.”
His office refuses to comment on who Lapid will meet with during the trip, or other details.
