JERUSALEM: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lavished praise on US President Donald Trump on Thursday for his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, a deeply controversial move the premier had long sought.
“President Trump bound himself forever with the history of our capital,” Netanyahu said.
“His name will now be proudly displayed alongside other names in the city’s glorious history.”
