A majority of Jewish leaders in the Diaspora favor moving the United States embassy to Jerusalem and feel a strong connection to the Western Wall of the Temple, but are concerned about the capital city's future, according to the 2017 Israel-Diaspora Dialogue of the Jewish People Police Institute think tank in Jerusalem.
JPPI President Avinoam Bar-Yosef wrote in the report's foreword that first and foremost among the common concerns of Israeli and Diaspora Jews "is that the city maintains a Jewish majority, which is currently threatened by the growth of the non-Jewish population within the broad borders of greater Jerusalem. A second concern is the “Haredization” of the city, which imperils its original pluralistic character and its economic well-being. Many Israeli and Diaspora Jews worry that the Orthodox religious system has become a monopoly that uses the Israel political system to advance the agenda of one part of the Jewish people."
