No mention of Jerusalem in Tillerson’s 2017 foreign policy review
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson skips President Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and his plan to move the embassy in his review of foreign policy in 2017.
In an opinion piece in The New York Times, Tillerson didn’t mention Jerusalem at all defended his country’s foreign policy, saying progress had been made in the last year to rein in North Korea’s nuclear ambitions and to counter the “immense challenges” posed by Russia and Iran, but failed to mention Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was the lead in a White House tweet of the president’s accomplishments in 2017.
