Herzog Sets Two-Day New York Visit Focused on Jewish Community Outreach

The trip addresses rising antisemitism in the U.S. following Zohran Mamdani’s election in New York.

Overview

  • The Israeli president arrives Sunday, December 7, for a brief, high-profile visit and will return to Israel after two days.
  • He will deliver the keynote at Yeshiva University’s annual celebration, where he will receive an honorary doctorate.
  • He is slated to be the guest of honor at the American Zionist Movement’s biennial national assembly.
  • His schedule includes meetings with senators, members of Congress, and presidents of major U.S. universities to strengthen ties, combat antisemitism, and support Jewish life.
  • The published itinerary lists no meeting or call with President Donald Trump, and the timing overlaps with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s formal pardon request to Herzog.
