'Canada’s embassy should be in Jerusalem'

Peter MacKay, who seeks to become the leader of Canada’s Conservative Party, this week walked back comments in which he would not commit to moving Canada’s embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, the Canadian Jewish News reports.

In a tweet on February 4, MacKay said, “It has always been my personal view that Jerusalem is the undisputed capital of the State of Israel and that is where Canada’s embassy should be and under my leadership, will be located.”
