Trump makes historic visit to a holy site in Jerusalem
On Monday, President Donald Trump became the first sitting American president to visit the Western Wall in Jerusalem, a sacred prayer site for Jews, during his five-day trip to the Middle East and Europe.
Both Israelis and Palestinians claim Jerusalem as their capital city — and the Western Wall is a prominent symbol of this dispute, as it runs next to one of the holiest sites in Islam, Al Aqsa Mosque.
Trump later called it a “great honor” to visit the wall, saying, “I can see a much deeper path, friendship with Israel.”
