A US congressional delegation led by House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi will travel to Israel, Germany and the UK, her office said Tuesday.
The trip will focus on security, economy and governance, the office said in a statement.
She said the first stop would be Israel, where they will meet Israeli leaders and leaders in the civic community to discuss the prospects for a two-state solution and regional security.
"At the Munich Security Conference, our delegation will reaffirm America’s ironclad commitment to the transatlantic partnership, especially in the face of worldwide challenges to democracy and the rise of autocratic threats.
"In London, our delegation will deepen our interparliamentary dialogue on how we can continue to work together to counter antidemocratic forces and advance our shared values and interests in the global arena," she added.
The delegation includes House Armed Services Committee Chairman Adam Smith, House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Adam Schiff, congresswoman Betty McCollum, chair of Defense Subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee, House Armed Services Committee member Seth Moulton, among others.
