Outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel is slated to arrive in Israel next month for a farewell visit before departing office — after canceling a visit scheduled for August.
Merkel is expected to arrive in Israel on October 11, two weeks after the federal elections in Germany are expected to name her successor. She was originally slated to visit Israel in late August but canceled amid the upheaval surrounding the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Kabul airport attack.
