“The visit will also be an opportunity for the two leaders to discuss efforts to advance peace, security, and prosperity for Israelis and Palestinians and the importance of working towards a more peaceful and secure future for the region,” she added.

Bennett’s visit is not expected to last more than 48 hours due to Covid-19 precautions, The Times of Israel quoted sources in the Prime Minister’s Office as saying.

It will be his second foreign visit since taking office in June, following an earlier trip to Jordan to meet with King Abdullah.
