Israeli President Herzog Honors US 250th Independence Anniversary at Jerusalem Embassy

Ahead of the United States' 250th Independence Day celebrations on July 4, Israeli President Isaac Herzog visited the US Embassy in Jerusalem. During his visit, Herzog met with US Ambassador Mike Herzog and delivered a congratulatory letter addressed to US President Donald J. Trump and the American people on behalf of the State of Israel.

In his letter, President Herzog praised the US independence as one of the great moments in history that changed humanity's fate. He expressed deep appreciation for the unique and unbreakable partnership between the US and Israel, highlighting their shared biblical roots and common values of liberty, democracy, and human dignity. Herzog also thanked the US for its steadfast commitment to Israel's security and efforts to bring home kidnapped Israeli citizens.

Ambassador Mike Herzog welcomed President Herzog warmly, calling it an honor to host him at the embassy and referring to him as a friend. The visit underscored the close ties between the two nations, especially following the historic US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, which led to the embassy's inauguration in the city.
