“We should never face the isolation and prejudice against our brothers and sisters of the Jewish nation."
The Western Wall, also known as the “Wailing Wall” or the “Kotel”, is the most religious site in the world for the Jewish people.
Located in the Old City of Jerusalem, the Wailing Wall is the last remaining outer wall of the ancient Jewish temple and an incredibly important site of modern Israeli history.
ODM leader Raila Odinga has also prayed at the Western Wall.
He visited the wall in May 2017 ahead of the general elections.
