Prime Minister Yair Lapid’s office issues a photo of him hanging up the so-called Jerusalem Declaration in the cabinet meeting room in Jerusalem.
The declaration signed by Lapid and US President Joe Biden during the latter’s visit last week said Washington will “use all elements of its national power” to ensure Iran never acquires a nuclear weapon.
Lapid says he is hanging the statement “in the place intended for historical declarations.”
