| US Vice President Mike Pence |
Vice President Mike Pence visited
the Israeli Knesset in Jerusalem on Monday.
He is the first American vice president in history to address the
Knesset. A video
shows a number of Arab MK’s who protested his speech. However, he spoke to the Knesset for
approximately 30 minutes. He
assured Israel that the US Embassy would open in Jerusalem before the end of
next year (2019). He also assured Israel
that the US would continue to support the Status Quo on the Temple Mount and
would agree to a two state solution if both Israel and the Palestinians agree
to that solution. Pence also commented
that the land of Israel was promised to Abraham and that Abraham was promised descendants
as numerous as stars, and that Jews, Christians, and Muslims claim Abraham as
their fore father in faith (see video: 1:51:13-1:54:30).
