Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar will meet with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Washington, DC, tomorrow, Sa’ar’s office announces. This will be the fourth meeting between the counterparts this year.

Today, Sa’ar is scheduled to meet in Washington with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Jim Risch, Senators John Fetterman and Lindsey Graham, and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Brian Mast, his office adds.

Sa’ar announced yesterday that he would travel to the US capital for a ceremony tonight with Bolivia’s Foreign Minister Fernando Armaio, during which Israel and Bolivia will formally renew diplomatic relations, which were severed at the start of the war in Gaza.

The signing ceremony will take place at the residence of Israeli Ambassador to the US Yechiel Leiter at 6:30 p.m. EST (1:30 a.m. Israel time).
