Haaretz: U.S. Vice President Mike Pence tours the Western Wall in private visit

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence visited the Western Wall in the Old City of Jerusalem on Tuesday. Confirming Haaretz’s earlier reports, Pence’s visit to the site, which is located beyond the 1967 lines and therefore not recognized by the world as part of Israel, took place without the presence of any Israeli political leaders, just like the visit U.S. President Donald Trump made to the holy site in May.

During Pence’s visit, female journalists accompanying the vice president were separated from their male colleagues and sent away to a fenced and covered area in the back of the Western Wall compound.
