As part of his official visit to Israel, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, arrived at the Western Wall, along with a delegation of members of Congress from the Republican and Democratic parties.
McCarthy signed the official guestbook and said: "On behalf of the US Congress, Israel is a blessed nation, because of our shared values we have a bond between the US and Israel that will never be severed. I look forward to Israel's next 75 years of a long relationship that will grow stronger between us."
