In a rare move, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will meet with US Vice President Mike Pence this week at the newly inaugurated US Embassy in Jerusalem rather than at the regular venues where he normally hosts foreign leaders.

Pence is expected to arrive in Israel on Thursday, to take part in the Fifth World Holocaust Forum alongside dozens of world leader. The embassy meeting, which will take place that same day, could be Netanyahu's way of showing his appreciation to the Trump administration's daring move of relocating the embassy from Tel Aviv despite international opposition.

Netanyahu usually meets with visiting dignitaries at the Prime Minister's Office or at the King David Hotel in Jerusalem.

Pence, who is considered one of the most pro-Israel figures in the administration, was a strong advocate of the move to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

He will be one of the keynote speakers at the Holocaust forum, which will mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp.

He is also expected to visit the Western Wall, potentially with Netanyahu, and meet with President Reuven Rivlin.
