Israeli President Herzog to Travel to Central America for Diplomatic Visit

Herzog will meet leaders and Jewish communities as Israel seeks to deepen ties with both Central American countries.

  • On Wednesday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog departs for a four-day official visit to Panama and Costa Rica, marking the first time an Israeli president has visited Panama.
  • The President's Residence stated, "This visit reflects the importance of Israel," noting the trip aims to deepen strategic partnerships with Central America, including Panama, which maintains a formal free trade agreement with Israel.
  • Herzog will meet Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino to discuss bilateral cooperation, then attend the inauguration of Costa Rican President-elect Laura Fernandez Delgado in San Jose.
  • The president plans to engage with local Jewish communities and meet regional leaders from Central and South America to discuss expanding international relations.
  • Herzog will travel on a chartered El Al flight instead of the state aircraft, Wing of Zion, because the Prime Minister's Office indicated the plane might be needed for a potential planned trip.
