U.S. Vice President Mike Pence is reportedly planning to visit Israel as part of a trip next month to Europe and the Middle East.

Politico, citing three U.S. officials familiar with the matter, reported on Thursday that Pence plans to go on a trip starting Jan. 6 that would consist of him visiting Bahrain, Israel, Poland and possibly other places. Bahrain has been one of a handful of countries to normalize ties with Israel over the past four months.

Pence’s aides declined to comment to Politico.

New York City’s request for proposal states that operators at the five city groceries must offer “kosher, halal, gluten free, dairy-free, vegan, diabetic options.”
Newly released records suggest Washington relied heavily on Israeli real-world evidence as it debated boosters.
The U.S. ambassador to Jerusalem dismissed their comments as absurd misinformation.
“I remain deeply concerned and very troubled by the unacceptable spike in hate crimes, particularly driven by those targeting Jewish New Yorkers,” New York City Council speaker Julie Menin told JNS.
