While neither President Trump nor Vice President Mike Pence personally attended the historic opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem Monday, several people from the White House, including the president’s daughter, traveled to Israel.
Trump did give a video address to those gathered for the opening, moments before daughter Ivanka unveiled the embassy plaque with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, saying the event was a “testament to the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish people.”
Here’s a look at who attended the embassy opening.
