U.S. Embassy Move to Jerusalem "a Great Day for Israel, a Great Day for America"


(Prime Minister's Office) Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu - Prime Minister Netanyahu said Monday in Jerusalem: "Today, the embassy of the most powerful nation on earth, our greatest ally, the United States of America - today its embassy opened here....In Jerusalem, King David established our capital three thousand years ago. In Jerusalem, King Solomon built our Temple, which stood for many centuries. In Jerusalem, Jewish exiles from Babylon rebuilt the Temple, which stood for many more centuries. In Jerusalem, the Maccabees rededicated that Temple and restored Jewish sovereignty in this land....We are in Jerusalem and we are here to stay." "You can only build peace on truth, and the truth is that Jerusalem has been and will always be the capital of the Jewish people, the capital of the Jewish state....May the opening of this embassy in this city spread the truth far and wide, and may the truth advance a lasting peace between Israel and all our neighbors."
