MK Hazan welcomes ‘Mike Penes,’ hopes nobody disturbs them with selfie

Knesset jester Oren Hazan has welcomed Pence to Israel with a baffling tweet, misspelling his name and apparently recalling his selfie with US President Donald Trump in broken English.

“Mr. Vice President Mike Penes, my friend, Welcome to our holy land,” he writes on Twitter. “I would like to apologize I was not able to welcome you at the airport. I’ll be waiting for you in Jerusalem, our eternal capital. I Hope nobody will disturb us with our selfie.”
