Trump Would Recognize Jerusalem As Capital Of Israel; US Embassy Currently In Tel Aviv
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump Sunday pledged to recognize an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of Israel during an 80-minute meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in New York.
The issue of Israel’s capital has been a contentious one in U.S.-Israeli relations since the Palestinian Authority also wants control of the Old City. The main U.S. Embassy in Israel is in Tel Aviv.
