Steinmeier will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on May 8th, and is also scheduled to meet Israel's President, Reuven Rivlin.
It is Steinmeier's first visit to Israel since taking up the post in March, although he has made the trip before while serving as Foreign Minister.
Steinmeier's visit comes after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cancelled talks last month with German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel over his meeting with a group critical of Israel's treatment of Palestinians./.
