US President Joe Biden will host his Israeli counterpart Reuven Rivlin at the White House on June 28, Press Secretary Jen Psaki announced here.

Israel’s former Labor chairman and opposition leader Isaac Herzog was chosen by Parliament earlier this month to be the next president.

He would be sworn in at an official ceremony in July.

The role of the President in Israel is mainly ceremonial with little executive power.

The President of Israel is elected for seven years and cannot serve more than a single term.
