When told that Jews can’t pray openly on the temple and about the Arab riots that followed Israel’s decision to authorize the creation of an exit from the Western Wall tunnels in 1996, Palin asked her guides, “Why are you apologizing all the time?” The Jerusalem Post reports.

“It’s overwhelming to be able to see and touch the cornerstone of our faith,” Palin said. “I’m so thankful to be able to be here, and I’m thankful to know the Israel-American connection will grow and strengthen as the peace negotiations continue.”
