TEL AVIV, ​Jan 27 (Reuters) - Israeli President Isaac Herzog will meet the families ⁠of victims of the Bondi Beach shooting and members of the ‍Australian Jewish community during a visit ​to the country next month, his office said on Tuesday.

The attack ​targeted a Jewish Hanukkah celebration in December, killing 15 people in Australia's worst mass shooting in decades.

"President Herzog will ‌visit Jewish communities across Australia to ‌express solidarity and offer strength to the ​community in the aftermath of the attack," his office said ‌in a statement.

Herzog, who as president ⁠holds a largely ceremonial role, ‌is also ​scheduled to meet Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. He will set off ⁠on February ⁠8 and the visit will conclude ​on February 12.
