Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with President Issac Herzog on Thursday, prior to Herzog’s departure on Monday to the US, where he will address a joint session of Congress on Wednesday, the second Israeli president to do, with the first one being his father, President Chaim Herzog, over 35 years ago.
As President Biden continues to snub Netanyahu, refusing to invite him to Washington, the prime minister discussed with Herzog the issues he wants him to discuss with the Biden administration.
Netanyahu emphasized two red lines to stress to US officials: Israel will not stand by if the US restores a nuclear deal with Iran and will use all means to thwart Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and Israel will not agree to a “no surprises” policy in its anti-Iran activities.
Herzog’s office announced on Sunday that Leah Goldin, the mother of fallen IDF soldier Hadar, h’yd, whose body has been held by Hamas since 2014, will accompany Herzog on his trip and join his meetings in Congress in Washington and with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York.
Herzog will meet President Biden at the White House on Tuesday and address Congress on Wednesday. He’s also scheduled to meet with Vice President Kamala Harris, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan.
On Thursday, he’ll travel to New York, where he’ll visit the UN headquarters, meet with Governor Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams, and attend an event at the UJA-Federation of New York.

If the definition of terrorism is hurting civilians rather than army all countries with the bad bomb are terrorist cause that is what it does hurt and kill innocent civilians Israel has many of them why can’t Iran
When people went to war they used to bring gold and silver with them and that made the enemy want them more sometimes when the army loads itself with explosives it end up blowing themselves like we saw with Russia here the Israeli bad bomb is also accessable from drone or satilites using x-ray laser this is known to billions of people
Think one day Iran won’t make the bomb it doesn’t need to Israel already has enough bomb for Iran to blow up without them making any all you need is something like x ray lasers and it’s available
Herzog should be fired, sent on his way….a father who raises a rainbow and a filthy gay man with sexual deviances isn’t our President at all…..nor has he have seichel….piece of pure faults
Leah Goldin, the mother of fallen IDF soldier Hadar, h’yd, whose body has been held by Hamas since 2014, will accompany Herzog on his trip Appropriate & correct move; Let all these politicians hear the real truth
