Donald Trump says he will recognize Jerusalem as “the one true capital of Israel”

NEW YORK – Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump formally announced that if he is elected, the United States will recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol city.

“I have said on numerous occasions that in a Trump Administration, the United States will recognize Jerusalem as the one true capital of Israel,” Mr. Trump said in a statement Thursday.

“The United Nations’ attempt to disconnect the State of Israel from Jerusalem is a one-sided attempt to ignore Israel’s 3,000-year bond to its capital city, and is further evidence of the enormous anti-Israel bias of the UN. Jerusalem is the enduring capital of the Jewish People and the overwhelming majority of Congress has voted to recognize Jerusalem as just that. Further, the decision by the Obama Administration to strike the word ‘Israel’ after the word ‘Jerusalem’ in the President’s prepared text was a capitulation to Israel’s enemies, and a posthumous embarrassment to Shimon Peres, whose memory the President was attempting to honor. In a Trump Administration, Israel will have a true, loyal and lasting friend in the United States of America.”

Currently, Israel claims Jerusalem as its capitol city, but the city is run by Palestine, which claims that Israel illegally occupies half of the city along with other disputed territories.  Much of the Arab world rejects Israel’s claim to the city.
