WASHINGTON (JTA) — Sarah Palin reportedly is planning on visiting Israel in 2011.
The former Alaska governor and GOP vice presidential candidate in 2008 wants to visit Israel and Britain next year, the Daily Beast website reported Dec. 9. It would be her first visit to both countries.
Palin is widely believed to be planning a presidential run in 2012.
She wished Jews a happy Chanukah on her Facebook page on Dec. 3.
"More than two thousand years after the Maccabees rebelled against their oppressors and reconsecrated their Holy Temple, the Jewish people continue to face threats to their existence, and they continue to persevere and overcome great odds," she said. "Today we should all recommit ourselves to ensuring that the miracle of a Jewish state endures forever."
