Russian President Putin has visited
Israel on a number of occasions. In
2012, he visited the Western Wall while being accompanied by Israeli and
Russian security personal. Before departing
the area, Putin stopped to converse with an ultra-Orthodox Jewish immigrant who
had shouted out to the president earlier, “Welcome President Putin.” The two men talked about the Wall and the
Temple build by King Solomon. Before
departing, Putin is to have said,
“That is why I came here to pray that the Temple will be rebuilt.” They shook hands and Putin said
good-bye. I found a video of
the conversation. It is in Russian and
would love it if someone could verify that that is what President Putin
said.
