“This is a historic wrong that has been righted. Israelis are united in support,” Dermer told Breitbart News. He added, “I think President Trump will have a unique place in the history of the Jewish state.”

During the a televised address from the White House on Wednesday, President Trump said, “I have determined that it is time to official recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. While previous presidents have made this a major campaign promise, they failed to deliver. Today, I am delivering.”

He later added: “Today, we finally acknowledge the obvious: that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital. This is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality. It is also the right thing to do. It’s something that has to be done.”
