President William Ruto prayed at the Wailing Wall on his first visit to Jerusalem, Israel, on Tuesday, May 9. Ruto was received by the director of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation, Mordechai Eliav, who narrated the long and enchanting history of the wall, also called the historical site. “That we shall be united as a people in peace as one people under God,” Ruto prayed, wishing the Israelites peace and tranquillity. Ruto then prayed at the Wall before sticking a written prayer note inside one of its cracks, as is the custom for many tourists. The Wailing Wall, also called the Western Wall or the Kotel, is an ancient limestone wall in the Old City of Jerusalem on Temple Mount Hill.
