The Prime Minister's office responded to President Trump's decision to delay moving the US embassy to Jerusalem.
Israel's position is that the American embassy like all others should be in Jerusalem our eternal capital.
Maintaining embassies outside the capital delays peace because it contributes to the Palestinian fallacy that the Jewish people have no connection to Jerusalem.
Despite its disappointment at the American decision, Israel appreciates the friendly words of President Trump and his commitment to transfer the embassy in the future.
