Speaking ahead of a special session of the Security Council convened to discuss US President Donald Trump’s announcement on Jerusalem, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon welcomed the American decision.
“President Trump’s declaration marks a milestone – for Israel, for peace and for the world,” Ambassador Danon said. “The announcement on Wednesday revealed a sad truth about some people around the world. The people who threaten to ignite a wave of violence,” he continued.
Ambassador Danon went on to say that, “This announcement should serve as a reality check for the Palestinians. They can choose violence as they have always done, or they can choose to join us at the negotiating table. The Security Council must send a clear message that there is never an excuse for violence. Violence must never be used as a threat.”
“The nations of the world must understand, that there will never be peace without Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel,” Ambassador Danon concluded. “That is why, today, I call on all countries to join with our American friends, recognize Jerusalem as our capital and move their embassies as well.”

The Israeli ambassador – while emphasizing the strong historical and inseparable bond between the Jews and Jerusalem, stating that the city’s name is being mentioned more that six hundred times in the Torah – missed a very critical point and that is that the name ירושלים is NOT even mentioned once in the Koran.
However – in either case the world would remain the same hypocrite world with the exception of few individuals like Trump and Haley . We have to strengthen our trust in H’. The world will continue to bark but we will prevail
Correction – the name ירושלים is mentioned frequently in Tanach, but – believe it or not – not mentioned even once in the Torah itself!
