Vice President Pence to Visit Israel and Egypt in December D

CBN News 10.26.17

DALLAS (AP) - Vice President Mike Pence announced Wednesday that he will travel to Israel and Egypt in late December at President Donald Trump's request.

Pence made the announcement in Washington in keynote remarks at In Defense of Christians' annual solidarity dinner for Christians in the Middle East.

He said he'll deliver a message during the trip that now is the time to "end the persecution of Christians and all religious minorities."

The vice president will visit Israel during Hanukkah. He'll discuss the prospects for a Middle East peace agreement in separate meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Pence is also expected to address U.S. policy toward Iran and highlight Israel's space program.

Pence will meet with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and highlight U.S.-Egypt cooperation on security issues. Pence also plans meetings with government and religious leaders to discuss combating the persecution of religious minorities, including Christians, in the broader Middle East.
