(Israel Hayom) Amb. Dror Eydar - Here is a historical fact: Over the last 3,300 years, the only people to establish any kind of political rule in this land were the People of Israel. No other kingdom or state was established in the Land of Israel, apart from the Kingdom of Israel or Judea and the State of Israel. The only people ever to have their political capital in Jerusalem is the Jewish people. During periods when Jewish independence was lost, various empires treated this land merely as a distant province.

They are the foreign occupiers of the land, not the Jews. The writer is a former Israeli Ambassador to Italy.
