Jerusalem belongs to Israel by the record of history, international law, and the right of conquest that is recognized for every other state in the world, but not for Israel.
This is an extremely encouraging development; we can only hope there will be more to come.
The Trump administration declared the president is in “Jerusalem, Israel,” on Monday for a series of meetings with Israeli officials, a proclamation that breaks with years of American policy refraining from stating that the city of Jerusalem is part of Israel.
Senior Trump administration officials had ignited a wave of controversy over the past several weeks when discussing Jerusalem, with some top officials refusing to say that the ancient city is part of Israel.
Decades of U.S. policy has refrained from formally labeling Jerusalem as part of Israel due to concerns this could negatively impact the Middle East peace process, in which Palestinian leaders have staked a claim to the city as their future capital.
Ahead of a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the White House, on its official website, provided a live stream of the event. Prior to its start, the White House included a frame stating, “President Trump gives remarks with Prime Minister Netanyahu.” The location provided was “Jerusalem, Israel.”
The statement appears to be part of an effort to normalize this language, which is widely backed by U.S. lawmakers and senior officials in the administration, sources said.
The State Department, which is disposed to address the issue with more caution, declined to comment on the latest declaration, instead referring a reporter to the White House. The White House did not provide comment on the matter by press time. Pro-Israel observers on Twitter and other social media immediately praised the declaration.

WH will backtrack and equivocate.
Obama’s WH also said “Jerusalem, Israel” a couple times and later corrected themselves.
*TRUMP BUMP*
I do not think this will happen with this admin, Donny downer. They said this they would recognize Jerusalem as being part of Israel during the campaign.
I think YHWH already covered this.
a good first step
for President Trump (and it starts to remove a terribly embarrassing blemish from America’s governmental policies too)
GO GET EM DJT!
and then come home and DRAIN THE D...ED SWAMP (especially all the pro-IslamicNazis and anti-American scum that Obama crammed into the already-biggoted Snake Department and he stuffed thousands more enemy agents and sympathizers into defense, military, security, intelligence, and policy positions).......drain the swamp before its alligators eat you and your presidency alive
“the Middle East peace PROCESS”
Having worked in the plastics business, I can tell you, with TOTAL CERTAINTY, what the definition of a ‘process’ is.
A ‘process’ is when defined Inputs are reconfigured in a way that leads to a defined Output. In other words, you put plastic pellets into a machine, heat and mold them, and dashboards come out...and come out the same every time (or close enough).
THERE IS NO MIDDLE EAST PEACE ‘PROCESS’ - all there is are the pipe dreams of Americans wishing to end the state of siege that Israel is under...in exchange for making sure Israel will no longer exist.
That about summarizes it.
Obama must be pisssd. :)
I like that plan.
“right of conquest”
So the Soviet Union should have been able to keep the Baltic States.
Amen!
Higher Authority is pleased.
May God bless this man
The “right of conquest” applies only to territory gained by the defending state against the state which started the war. In 1967 Jordan initiated hostilities against Israel.
