Israeli President Isaac Herzog canceled a planned trip to New York where he was due to deliver a commencement address and receive an honorary degree, Ynet reported on Thursday.
The Jewish Theological Seminary said Herzog would instead address the ceremony virtually and would be awarded the honorary degree at a later date in Israel.
The cancellation came amid criticism and protests from pro-Palestinian activists over his planned appearance, according to the report. Herzog’s office, however, said the decision was unrelated, citing recent foreign travel and scheduling constraints.
