White House Says Western Wall Has to Be Part of Israel
(AP-Chicago Tribune) Ken Thomas - Senior Trump administration officials outlined their view Friday that Jerusalem's Western Wall ultimately will be declared a part of Israel. "We cannot envision any situation under which the Western Wall would not be part of Israel. But as the president said, the specific boundaries of sovereignty of Israel are going to be part of the final status agreement," a senior administration official said. Another official added, "We note that we cannot imagine Israel would sign a peace agreement that didn't include the Western Wall."
