More than 100 Israeli and German youth will gather to discuss building a future rooted in cooperation and mutual understanding.
To mark 60 years of diplomatic relations between their nations, President Isaac Herzog will travel to Berlin on May 12 for a one-day state visit, followed by a reciprocal visit to Israel by German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Herzog will depart for Berlin on Sunday night, May 11, at Steinmeier’s invitation. During his time in Germany, the Israeli head of state is scheduled to meet with Steinmeier, Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other senior officials. He will also attend a state event at Bellevue Palace, Steinmeier’s official residence.
Steinmeier will accompany Herzog to the Track 17 Memorial at the Grunewald train station in Berlin—one of the sites from which thousands of Jews were deported to concentration camps during the Holocaust.
