Following the speech to the Knesset by United States Vice President Mike Pence, Member of Knesset Ayelet Nahmias-Verbin (Zionist Union) said, "Vice President Penz proved today that he is a true friend of the State of Israel, and it was a pity that there were those MKs who chose to welcome him with unnecessary provocations."
She continued, "Alongside the support, it was important to listen to the words of Vice President Pence, which included a tone of warning and a clear call to the Israeli government and the Palestinians to move forward toward a two-state solution, but we must not ignore the call to return to the negotiating table and this is also an opportunity for the Palestinians to stop their dangerous "May your house be destroyed" game and respond to Penn's call for a dialogue that will lead to an agreement."
