In a bitter diplomatic incident, a senior member of the US delegation making preparations for Donald Trumps visit to Israel next week angrily rejected a request that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu accompany the president when he visits the Western Wall, and then sniped at his Israeli counterparts that the Western Wall is not your territory. Its part of the West Bank, Israeli television reported on Monday night.
An official at the Prime Ministers Office confirmed the Channel 2 report, telling the Times of Israel that Israeli officials were shocked by the comments and have asked the Trump administration about the incident.
The official said that Netanyahu is certain that the comment does not reflect President Trumps policy.
