Female US reporters reportedly indignant over separation from Pence at Wall

Haaretz reports that female American journalists were incensed after being separated from Mike Pence at the Western Wall, when male journalists were allowed to accompany the vice president.

Separation between men and women is traditional at the holy site, though it has been a growing point of controversy in recent years.
