Isaac Herzog

Isaac Herzog is the current President of Israel. He is newsworthy due to his involvement in international diplomacy, particularly in the Middle East and Australia, and domestic issues within Israel. Recent events include his meeting with the Ethiopian Prime Minister in Addis Ababa to potentially form an alliance, and a visit from India's Prime Minister Modi to discuss security and economic agreements. Herzog's visit to Australia sparked protests and a secret meeting with the head of the Australian intelligence agency, ASIO. He also responded to Donald Trump's call for him to pardon Netanyahu. Furthermore, events in Australia, such as attacks on synagogues and protests during his visit, highlight the complexities of his role and the controversies surrounding Israeli policies. The bulldozing of Australian soldiers' graves in Gaza has also put pressure on the Australian government to hold Israel accountable.
