Isaac Herzog

President of Israel

Elected as the 11th President of the State of Israel in July 2021, Isaac Herzog keeps making history: He is the first son of a former Israeli President, Chaim Herzog, to take over the same post and the first head of state to receive the credentials of the Kingdom of Bahrain’s inaugural Ambassador to Israel. At the ceremony to welcome Ambassador Khaled Yousif Al-Jalahma, Herzog extended his “warm feelings of friendship and respect and affection between our nations as we had made history in the last year together. The growing partnership between our two countries is a model for the entire Middle East and I hope that other countries in the region will be inspired by your example.” Prior to becoming Israel’s President, Herzog served as the head of the Jewish Agency.
