President Trump is right on Jerusalem

-

Despite the opinion of world leaders , the move by President Trump on the status of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moving the location of the U.S. Embassy to a section of the holy city — which has been part of Israel for nearly 70 years — was long overdue.

No matter what the reaction of the Palestinia­n government will be, it is immaterial, as it already fails to even recognize the state of Israel.

It was time to call a spade a spade, with all of Israel’s government offices, including the Knesset, in Jerusalem. Trump has made a wise decision, which merely confirms Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel. Nelson Marans New York
