Israeli President Isaac Herzog will address a joint meeting of Congress on July 19 to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Israel's statehood and to reaffirm his nation's special relationship with the United States, congressional leaders announced on Thursday.
“The world is better off when America and Israel work together," said the annoucement from House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. "Eleven minutes after declaring independence in 1948, the United States was the first to recognize the state of Israel, and today, we continue to strengthen the unbreakable bond between our two democracies."
