Israeli Envoy: U.S. Embassy Move to Jerusalem a "Step Forward" for Peace
(Reuters) Matt Spetalnick - Speaking at an Israeli embassy Hanukkah party in Washington, Israel's ambassador Ron Dermer said that relocating the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem would be a "great step forward to peace" and a move that "should have happened a long time ago....It would send a strong message against the de-legitimization of Israel." Dermer said he hoped that next year when the new U.S. ambassador lights the traditional Hanukkah candles in his embassy, he will do so in Jerusalem.
