Israel prepares for Trump’s visit
President Donald Trump’s two-day visit to Israel in March will reportedly include stops at Masada, the Western Wall and meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
President Donald Trump’s two-day-visit to Israel in May will reportedly include stops at Masada and the Western Wall as well as meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders.
Trump will arrive in Israel on May 22, when he will visit the Western Wall and meet with President Reuven Rivlin and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s Channel 2 reported. That day may also include a “possible visit” to Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial.
On May 23, Trump will speak at Masada, the Roman-era fortress in the Negev Desert, and meet with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, according to Channel 2.
In a briefing for reporters after the announcement, a senior aide to Trump said the thrust of the tour, which will precede a previously announced visit to NATO headquarters in Brussels, is to unite the world’s nations and the three faiths — Judaism, Christianity and Islam — against terrorism.
The agenda was deliberately set “to bring about all the different countries, all the different religions, in the fight against terrorism,” said the aide.
