Meeting with Rivlin, Pence reiterated that Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital will ultimately help move the peace process along.

Trump 'righted a 70-year wrong' by acknowledging Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, Pence said, adding that the US Embassy will move there by the end of 2019.

After his speech was briefly disrupted by Arab lawmakers, Pence received hearty applause and the first of many standing ovations at the Knesset.
