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.
