U.S. Affirms Pence Plan to Visit Israel This Month After Delay

Vice President Mike Pence, who postponed a Middle East trip after Arab leaders denounced the U.S. for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, will come this month despite speculation that he had delayed it again, an aide said.

“Pence is traveling to Israel & Egypt later this month,” Pence’s Deputy Chief of Staff & Communications Director Jarrod Agen said on Twitter.
