[VIDEO IN EXTENDED ARTICLE]

There were some interesting scenes at a concert this week, which was attended by various high ranking government officials, in Jerusalem’s Pais Arena.

Chassidic singer, Mordechai Ben David (MBD), the “King of Jewish music”, sang a song about peace.

At one point the music stopped and he asked the audience:

“You know when there’ll be peace?

In a few weeks, when there will be a new president in the United states!”

Standing ovation from the crowd

Later, the Mayor of Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, gave a short speech. At the end he mentioned Trump and said that he is sure that Trump will fullfil his promise and finally move the embassy to Jerusalem etc

Crowd instantly brakes into chants of “USA USA”

Next was Interior Minister Aryeh Deri. He told the young crowd that they protect Israel and “not Obama or John Kerry, nor the UN or anyone else…”

Again standing ovation
