British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly will arrive in Israel tomorrow for a three-day visit, during which he will meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Eli Cohen.

He will also deliver a speech at the Institute for Counter-Terrorism Policy (ICT) at Reichman University in Herzliya on Tuesday morning. Cleverly will likely be unable to avoid commenting on Israel’s judicial overhaul fight, as his address will come the same day as the full 15-justice panel of the High Court is slated to hear the petitions against the first major piece of legislation passed.

He will also be in Ramallah on Wednesday to meet with senior Palestinian Authority officials. It is unclear whether he will be able to meet PA President Mahmoud Abbas, as the leader is expected in Cuba on Friday.
