Pence? Why? He's no longer relevant.
Pence Heads to Israel for Meetings on Gaza War Former vice president Mike Pence is heading to Israel on Wednesday to meet with the Jewish state's leadership and survey the country's war effort against the Iran-backed Hamas terror group, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Pence will take off Wednesday and spend about a week touring war sites in Israel's southern territory, as well as its northern border with Lebanon, where Hezbollah militants—also backed by Iran—have been increasing their cross-border attacks and threatening to open up a new front in the war.
The former vice president's trips will likely overlap with an upcoming visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken, though it is expected the two statesmen will carry different messages to the Israeli government. The Biden administration's top diplomat has been leaning on Israel to quickly end the war and pump aid into the embattled Gaza Strip, even though aid dollars are known to be stolen by Hamas. Pence, on the other hand, will carry a message of U.S. solidarity with Israel's military, which is working to eradicate Hamas and secure the Jewish state's borders.
"Now more than ever the United States must show our support for our most cherished ally, Israel, and we must continue to stand by them as they wage war on Hamas after the brutal terrorist attack on the Israeli people," Pence told the Free Beacon ahead of the trip. "As long as I have a voice I'll use it call on America to continue to be the leader of the free world, to stand with our allies against the dark regimes of our time, and make it clear that the American people will stand with the people of Israel today, tomorrow, and every day as they do what needs to be done to hunt down and destroy Hamas, once and for all."..............
