In a news release, Rhoden's office said he is leading 'a business-driven trade mission to Israel alongside South Dakota Trade'.
'This mission is 100% business-driven,' said Jesse Fonkert, President & CEO of South Dakota Trade, in a news release. 'We had a successful mission in November of last year and are back because our businesses are generating real opportunities that have already produced millions in sales and a robust pipeline for even more expansion.'
Rhoden also visited the Gandel Rehabilitation Center at Hadassah's Mt. Scopus Hospital to meet with recovering soldiers who have been injured since the start of the war. This stop was coordinated by South Dakota Jewish community leader Carol Rosenthal, who serves as the Chair of Hadassah International.
Trade missions to the UK/Ireland and Canada are also currently being planed for 2025. Interested businesses should reach out to Rachael Weiland with South Dakota Trade.
