The U.S. expects the Western Wall in Jerusalem to be part of Israel, but specific boundaries are subject to final status negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA), a senior administration official said Friday.
We cannot envision any situation under which the Western Wall would not be a part of Israel. But as the President said, the specific boundaries of sovereignty of Israel are going to be part of the final status agreement, the official told Israeli public broadcaster Kann.
The official also noted that U.S. Vice President Mike Pences visit to the Western Wall as part of his upcoming trip to Israel will be an official visit and not a private one.

Prefer a southern wall like the one Israel has
PA authority should get nothing.
Not even life jackets for their well deserved swim in the sea that they should be made to take.
Is this a joke? So what part of Mecca will belong to Muslims? Does half the “Kaaba” belong to the Jews? Those questions are no more ridiculous than ANY debate about the only remaining wall of the Jewish Temple, the holiest land to Jews.
Not only the Western Wall, but the whole Temple Mount, and East Jerusalem are part of Israel, no matter what some politicians say. I have it on higher authority.
Well, we have a Rim out west in Arizona that looks like a wall.
Oh Whoopieee! ( sarc). The old wall isnt going anywhere and neither is Jerusalem, Israel. So it will logically remain in Israel It sure doesnt take any genius in washDC to make a statement like the wall isnt gonna fly out of Israel. Maybe to timbucktu? Shanghai? Chattanooga?
We’re going again in May, so it will be interesting to see whether tensions have changed from 2012.
Israel will decide, as it always has.

Why else does the left always re-write history? (It's a rhetorical question.)

What a load of garbage. Jerusalem will always be, in its entirety, part of Israel. Is INN the Israel version of CNN, font of fake news?
No; they’re usually on the right. They’re reporting on what some unnamed “senior administration official” claimed Trump said, not what Trump himself actually said. So who knows if this is another Obama holdover.
Also, this is second-hand from Kan, who is a state media outlet that came into being three years ago.
UNR 181 already set the borders. These remain the only legal recognized boundaries.
I certainly would own any real estate outside of the 181 lines, thats for sure
The UnitedNazis have thoroughly discredited themselves and have ZERO say in defining any nations borders anyway. Anyone looking to the UnitedNazis for anything but more anti-American (and anti- Jewish) bigotry missed the fact that the UN train jumped the rails years ago.
that may be true, but it does nothing to negate the simple truth that 181 is what the entire world ( excepting Washington & the Likud ) accepts as the borders.
rhey are free to believe or hallucinate any which way they wish, theres no effective way of stopping them from their delusions Israel will do whatever is necessary tho ( which is why the haters and bigots mostly just talk scream rant and rave )
Thanks Olog-hai. The Arab terrorist should be docked an acre for every terrorist act they've committed or had committed on their behalf, and another acre for every fatality (including their own). They'd end up owing Israel land.
