US Vice President Kamala Harris calls President Isaac Herzog to wish Israelis a happy Passover and to condemn a recent string of deadly terror attacks in the country, Herzog’s office says.
Harris condemns the recent wave of attacks, “on behalf of US President Joe Biden and herself, and by sending her and President Biden’s condolences to the bereaved families,” Herzog’s office says in a statement.
“Vice President Harris expressed her support for steps taken by Israel during the month of Ramadan and its efforts to confront the wave of terrorism,” the statement says.
According to Herzog’s office, Harris wished him “his family, and all citizens of Israel a happy and peaceful Passover.”
She adds that this year the VP’s Residence will host a traditional Seder night for the first time.
Herzog’s office says he expresses his thanks to Harris and on behalf of the Israeli people for the condolences, “noting that it is especially significant and important coming from the State of Israel’s greatest ally.”
“The President also thanked Vice President Harris for her holiday wishes and wished her and her family a Happy Passover,” the statement adds.
