Mr Kellenberger will also meet with the leadership of the Magen David Adom and the Palestine Red Crescent Society in order to discuss present and future cooperation to help the victims of violence. The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement's endeavour to find a comprehensive resolution to the emblem question will be another important subject on the agenda.

The president will travel to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Ramallah, Hebron and Gaza.
This is the first time in over seven years that an ICRC president has visited Israel and the occupied and autonomous territories.
