    Netanyahu welcomed an American delegation, led by Trump’s daughter Ivanka and her husband, Jared Kushner, at a celebration in Israel’s Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem on Sunday evening. The new embassy is to open on Monday.

    The Palestinians, who claim Israel-annexed east Jerusalem as their capital, are angered by the American move and have virtually cut off ties with the White House. Dozens of European countries also skipped Sunday’s ceremony.

    But Netanyahu insisted the embassy move is “the right thing to do” and ordered other countries to follow suit.

    He says Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jews for thousands of years, and any peace agreement will include Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

    BOLD symbolic move for nationalism and Zionism. Absolutely. But nothing for Judaism.

    We Jews have no capital cuz Jerusalem is a higher entity. It doesnt matter who owns it. The holiness never changed if it were under British, Muslim or any sovereignty. Jerusalems holiness will be restored with Mashiachs arrival and not with moving embassys. This has 0 connection to anything related to Jews. All a Zionistic shpiel.
