Netanyahu Says The Jerusalem Issue ‘Has Already Been Resolved’


Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu does not expect to discuss Jerusalem’s status as his nation’s capital with U.S. President Donald Trump when they meet Thursday, as the issue has “already been resolved.”

Last month, Trump recognized the city as Israel’s capital, infuriating the Palestinians. They accused the U.S. of siding with Israel and said Washington can no longer serve as a mediator.

The move also prompted condemnation around the world.

Netanyahu also told The Associated Press at the World Economic Forum that he looks to achieve “progress, security, prosperity and peace” in his meeting with Trump.

The White House said Trump is looking to reiterate the U.S.’s “strong commitment to Israel and efforts to reduce Iran’s influence in the Middle East, and ways to achieve lasting peace.”
