President Isaac Herzog will address a joint session of Congress in Washington, DC on July 19, leaders of both US parties announce.
A message from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries says the visit will “commemorate the 75th anniversary of the statehood of Israel and reaffirm the special relationship between our two nations.”
Herzog is expected to also meet with US President Joe Biden, and will meet with Jewish leaders in New York City, where he will spend Shabbat.
