President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a phone call on Friday to coordinate an upcoming meeting in the United States. Netanyahu reached out to Trump, offering congratulations on America’s 250th anniversary and emphasizing the deep connection between the two countries.
This discussion followed the recent designation of land for the future site of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem. Officials present at the signing ceremony included U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, and Jerusalem Mayor Moshe Lion.
Ambassador Huckabee noted that the project aligns with the values that shaped the United States, adding that the move honors the historical ties between the Jewish people and Jerusalem. Minister Sa’ar described the relocation of the mission as an act of justice, underscoring the vital partnership between Washington and Jerusalem. This development continues the diplomatic policy established by President Trump in 2017.
