Isaac Herzog has been invited by the Jewish Cultural Quarter (JCK), which includes the new museum, because he represents the Dutch survivors who emigrated to Israel after the Second World War. The president is also there on behalf of the Israeli institutions involved in the museum. Documents, photos and videos have been made available from Israel.
But Herzog is also a controversial president. He has been criticized internationally in recent months. For example, shortly after the Israeli attack in Gaza, in response to the Hamas attack of October 7, he said that civilians in Gaza are not going free. “An entire nation is responsible,” he said. During a visit to Israeli troops, he also wrote the text “I trust you” on an Israeli grenade that was then fired into Gaza.
The spokesperson for the Holocaust museum says that the invitation to Herzog was already made last summer. According to him, no consideration was given to withdrawing this after October 7.
