Barack Obama made a surprise pre-dawn visit to Jerusalem's Western Wall on 24th july 2008, at the end of a trip aimed at showing his strong support for Israel.
The Democrat presidential hopeful, wearing a Jewish skullcap, placed a prayer he had written in the wall and bowed his head while a rabbi read a psalm calling for peace in the holy city. He assured Israel and its U.S. Jewish supporters on Wednesday that he was a friend who would not press for concessions in peace talks with Palestinians that would compromise its security.
