Lapid says US should have recognized Jerusalem as Israeli capital 70 years ago
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleYesh Atid leader Yair Lapid says the US should have recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital “70 years ago” or at the very least, “the day after ’67.”
At the weekly Yesh Atid meeting, Lapid expresses hope the US will now declare Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and relocate its embassy.
Lapid speaks ahead of US President Donald Trump’s deadline to sign a six-month waiver on moving the embassy, with an announcement expected tomorrow.
He also addresses the so-called police recommendations bill. He says Netanyahu’s statement yesterday that the bill will be revised to exclude the cases against him was “an admission of guilt” as the prime minister has insisted throughout he is not involved in the legislation.
