An official statement noted that Herzog will hold meetings with his counterpart, Jose Raul Mulino, and members of his Government, aimed at strengthening bilateral relations and boosting new areas of cooperation.

Reports stated that the expected areas of exchange include water management and technology, innovation, and technical collaboration.

The visitor will also meet with leaders of the Israeli community and tour the Panama Canal, one of the country’s leading strategic assets.

After concluding his stay, Herzog will travel to San Jose, the capital of Costa Rica, where he will participate in the inauguration of President-elect Laura Fernandez.

News outlets such as the Bayano Digital newspaper, condemned the visit of the high-ranking representative from Tel Aviv, citing his ties to the genocide and torture of the Palestinian population, who are dying from bombs, trauma, hunger, and thirst.
