A senior Palestinian official has said that US Vice President Mike Pence "is not welcome in the occupied territories" during his scheduled visit later this month, Al Jazeera reports.
"We will not receive him in the Palestinian territories," Jibril Rajoub said on Thursday, a day after US President Donald Trump formally recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Pence is expected to visit Israel later this month, with a stop in the Palestinian city of Bethlehem.
