Decked out for Pence’s visit, Jerusalem forced to store away flags, barriers

Flags and security barriers set up for US Vice President Mike Pence’s visit to Jerusalem “will be taken down and kept for the visit whenever it takes place,” a Foreign Ministry spokesman says.

There is no word on the cost of the preparations.

Pence was set to arrive in Israel on Wednesday, but the White House said Monday his visit would be delayed until an unknown date in mid-January due to the Trump administration’s current efforts to shepherd tax reform through Congress.
