Netanyahu to accompany Pompeo to Western Wall on Thursday
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will accompany visiting US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to the Jerusalem’s Old City Thursday afternoon for a visit to the Western Wall holy site, according to his office.
Though many visiting dignitaries visit the Western Wall, an Israeli-hosted visit to the flashpoint holy site in East Jerusalem, where Palestinians envision the capital of their future state, is seen as politically significant.
Pompeo is also set to visit the new US Embassy which moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem last year, driving a diplomatic wedge into US-Palestinian relations.
