Glenn Beck has begun his highly anticipated but controversial Jerusalem solidarity rally.
The conservative US pundit, until recently a presenter on Fox News, announced plans in May to stage the "Restoring Courage" in Israel.
At the time he said he wanted "to show the world what living a life of faith and honour really means," adding: "I will be counted and I will stand."
He is expected to be joined at today's event in the Old City of Jerusalem by actor Jon Voight – the father of Angelina Jolie – Israeli singer Dudu Fisher and a number of rabbis and Knesset members.
