Vice President Mike Pence visited
the Western Wall on Tuesday. Although
the visit was only for 15 minutes, the area surrounding the wall was closed for
several hours. In the meantime, Israeli
police who are responsible for the Temple Mount entrances accompanied and guided
a number of Jews onto the mount.
It was reported that the visit was peaceful without the presence of large numbers of Muslim
worshipers. Under the
leadership of Police Chief Yoram Halevi, Israeli police are more supportive of the increase of Jewish presence on the mount.
