“Although there were at my table, between Yehudim and prefects, one hundred and fifty men in all, beside those who came to us from surrounding nations.”
United Nations Secretary General António Guterres began a three-day visit to Israel on Monday, his first to the country since assuming the leadership of the world body in January. Guterres will hold talks with President Reuven Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and will visit the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial. He will also visit Ramallah, which his office referred to as the “State of Palestine,” for talks with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
He began his visit on Monday morning at the Jewish National Fund’s Grove of Nations in Jerusalem, where he joined a long line of over 100 world leaders who have planted trees in Israel as a symbol of peace, cooperation, and friendship.
