Netanyahu: ‘We Are Profoundly Grateful’ for Trump’s ‘Courageous and Just Decision’

EXCERPT:

NETANYAHU: “From every corner of the Earth, our people yearn to return to Jerusalem; to touch its golden stones, to walk its hallowed streets. It's rare to be able to speak of new and genuine milestones in the glorious history of this city. Yet, today’s pronouncement by President Trump is such an occasion. We are profoundly grateful for the President, for his courageous and just decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to prepare for the opening of the U.S. Embassy here. This decision reflects the President’s commitment to an ancient but enduring truth, to fulfilling promises and to advancing peace. The President’s decision is an important step towards peace, for there is no peace that doesn’t include Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel."
