The delegation will also visit Kibbutz Be’eri on November 1 to meet with released hostages and relatives of victims from the October 7, 2023 attack.
Kuper's visit aims to strengthen the bond between North Rhine-Westphalia and Israel, which he described as 'unparalleled and unbreakable'. He urged Yad Vashem chairman Dani Dayan to establish a regional branch in North Rhine-Westphalia, with Saxony and Bavaria also under consideration.
