U.S. President Joe Biden has offered his formal congratulations to Isaac Herzog, who was voted in as Israel s 11th president after winning Wednesday s election against Miriam Peretz, in a secret ballot among the country s 120 lawmakers.
He will officially replace outgoing President Reuven Rivlin next month, with his seven-year term beginning on July 9. On behalf of the people of the United States, I extend my warm congratulations to Isaac Herzog on his election to serve as the 11th President of the State of Israel. Throughout his career, President-elect Herzog has demonstrated his unwavering commitment to strengthening Israel’s security, advancing dialogue, and building bridges across the global Jewish community. I am confident that under his presidency, the partnership between Israel and the United States will continue to grow and deepen, Biden said.
