At the outset of U.S. Vice President Pence’s visit to Israel, he has said to Israel’ Prime Minister Netanyahu, that it was a “great honor” and a “privilege” for him to be “in Israel’s capital, Jerusalem.”
And Netanyahu told the American vice president, “I’ve had the privilege over the years of standing here with hundreds of world leaders and welcome them, all of them to Israel’s capital, Jerusalem. This is the first time that I’m standing when both leaders can say those three words, ‘Israel’s capital, Jerusalem.'”
This is the highest-level U.S. visit to the region since President Donald Trump on December 6 recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and promised to begin the process of moving the American embassy to the city, angering the Palestinians, who announced they will no longer accept the United States as a mediator in the peace process.
Despite this, Pence said he looked forward to speaking with Netanyahu “about the opportunity for peace,” insisting the recognition of Jerusalem was done to “create an opportunity to move on in good faith negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.”
However, outraged at Trump’s Jerusalem declaration, a move that reversed decades of US policy on the city’s status, the Palestinians are snubbing Pence. President Mahmoud Abbas left for an overseas visit before the vice president’s arrival.
And Pence, an evangelical Christian who has been vocal on the subject of protecting Christians in the Middle East, is not scheduled to make any trips to Palestinian areas such as Bethlehem, a city whose Christian significance usually draws Western dignitaries.
