Washington, DC – Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to arrive in the United States, where he will meet with President Joe Biden and address a joint session of Congress as the US and Israel deepen ties despite concerns over Palestinians’ human rights.
Herzog, who will address US lawmakers on Wednesday, serves a largely ceremonial role in Israel, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the head of the executive branch. And while Netanyahu has been a controversial figure – even amongst mainstream US Democrats – Herzog is often portrayed as a non-partisan statesman.
