Shaked thanks Pence for ‘very Zionist’ Knesset speech
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked thanks US Vice President Mike Pence for his “Zionist” speech at the Knesset earlier.
In a tweet, Shaked says his remarks “expressed the simple truth: The land of Israel belongs to the Jewish people, and Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel for 3,000 years and will remain so forever.”
Shaked says that she, along with all of Israel, is waiting for the US to move its embassy to Jerusalem.
