Historic and Meaningful; Trump Becomes the First Sitting U.S. President to Visit Israel's Western Wall

Aimee Herd : May 22, 2017  The Sun UK

Wearing a kippah, President Donald Trump stood at the Wall alone. He paused solemnly for a moment, before placing a prayer or note inside a crack in the Wall—according to tradition.

He is the first U.S. president to visit the Jewish State on the first foreign trip, and Trump is the first sitting U.S. president EVER to go to the Western Wall.

Visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulcher was number one on the day's itinerary for the president and First Lady after arriving at Ben Gurion Airport to a warm welcome from Israeli PM Netanyahu and his wife, Sara.

Following time spent inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the President and First Lady were then escorted to the Kotel, or Western Wall.

It was a very special moment, as well as an historic one, and no doubt many (if not all of us) wonder what was written on that slip of paper.

Later, First Lady Melania Trump also spent a moment at the Kotel, placing her hand on it and appearing to pray.
