US embassy should be in Jerusalem
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu yesterday called for US President Donald Trump to make good on his campaign pledge to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Departing from a long-standing US position, Trump promised he would recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and relocate the American mission there.
"The US embassy must move here to Jerusalem," Netanyahu said after his weekly cabinet meeting.
The Palestinians regard east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state, while Israel proclaims the entire city as its capital.
