After praying together at Jerusalem’s Western Wall, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio tour the nearby underground tunnels, with Netanyahu hailing the US-Israel alliance as “durable as the stones” of the holy site.

Axar.az reports, citing Times of Israel, the pair, joined by US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee and the three officials’ wives, were guided by Suli Eliav, CEO of the Western Wall Heritage Center.

“I think [Rubio’s] visit here is a testimony to the durability, the strength of the Israeli-American alliance, that is as strong and durable as the stones of the Western Wall that we just touched,” Netanyahu tells reporters at the site after the tour.

“Under [US] President [Donald] Trump, and Secretary Rubio, this alliance has never been stronger, and we deeply appreciate it,” the premier continues, before the two shake hands and leave the site together.
