Report: Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit UK next week

Report: Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit UK next week

The Israeli president is set to visit London next Thursday, just days before Britain is expected to recognise Palestinian statehood at the UN general assembly later this month, according to UK media reports.

Isaac Herzog is expected to meet ministers and senior political figures, the Guardian reported on Thursday, but Downing Street has not yet confirmed a meeting.

The latest, unannounced, visit is likely to spark outrage among Labour backbenchers and other MPs, since the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is wanted for alleged war crimes by the International Criminal Court.

Herzog has backed Israel's military operations in Gaza. In October 2023 he claimed that all Palestinians in Gaza were "unequivocally" responsible for the 7 October Hamas attack.

"It is not true this rhetoric about civilians not aware, not involved," he said in remarks that are widely accused of having been genocidal in nature.
