Obama speaking in Jerusalem

Obama begins speaking to enthusiastic applause.

He speaks of the “friendship that binds us together.”

He says he has “borne witness to the ancient history of the people of Israel,” and seen the country’s future in hi-tech.

He says “only in Israel” could he see the Dead Sea Scrolls and technology on the Mars Rover “together.”

But he was “most excited” about this speech, he said.
