The US Embassy in Israel has distributed on social networks a special video featuring former Chief Rabbi Israel Meir Lau, Major General (Res.) Doron Almog as well as ordinary citizens.

Ambassador Friedman added that "70 years after Uncle Ben-Gurion announced the establishment of the State of Israel, the same day and at the same time, the United States moved the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. It was one of the most exciting days of my life. 

President Trump has fulfilled his promise to the Jewish people and tens of millions of Americans supporting Israel. The stones of Jerusalem represent the heart of the Jewish people. We are proud that these stones now adorn the US Embassy in Jerusalem. The US has again demonstrated on this day its commitment to the freedom, truth and eternal connection of the people of Israel with its eternal capital. "

Today is the 2nd anniversary of the opening of the US Embassy in Jerusalem. Pls enjoy this video which captures some of the highlights, & shares some reflections, of that historic day. Thanks Pres. Trump for keeping a sacred promise to ancient people. https://t.co/SsMn2Yd9Bc
