Outgoing Israeli President Reuven Rivlin met with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in New York Tuesday. Rivlin is on his final foreign trip of his presidency, which concludes on July 7 after a seven-year term. On Monday, he met with President Joe Biden in Washington.

That meeting comes just weeks after Naftali Bennett became Israel's new prime minister, replacing Benjamin Netanyahu. Isaac Herzog, a former parliament member who most recently headed a nonprofit that works closely with the government to promote immigration to Israel, will take over as Israeli president.
