Israel’s President Isaac Herzog will travel to Australia in early February for a high-profile visit focused on Jewish community safety, his office has confirmed.

The visit follows an invitation from the Australian government in the wake of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack that killed 15 people and injured another 40 on Dec. 14, 2025.
