On Thursday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Yad Vashem Holocaust museum, the Kosel, toured the Western Wall tunnels & Wilson’s Arch excavations and visited the Shaarei Teshuva synagogue in the tunnels.
Pompeo was joined by Prime Minister Netanyahu and US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. Pompeo became the highest-ranking U.S. official to visit the Kosel with any Israeli leader.
Also Thursday, President Trump made a surprise announcement that the US will endorse Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights.
Thank you President Trump for your moral, courageous and just decision to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Once again, under your leadership, the United States stands resolutely with the people of Israel. pic.twitter.com/vBdpVlegtv
