Russia Recognizes Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital – With A Catch
By Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz April 7, 2017
“At that time they shall call Yerushalayim the throne of Hashem; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of Hashem, to Yerushalayim; neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.” Jeremiah 3:17
Just in time for the 50th anniversary of the unification of Jerusalem, The Russian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Thursday, announcing they view Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. But there is a big catch that makes the offer entirely unappealing, and perhaps impossible to accept.
The announcement appeared on the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. It began as a generic statement concerning their position on the stalled negotiations between the Palestinians and the Israelis, but concluded with the startling statement that they view West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
...
This would make Russia the first country to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the Jewish State. There is presently only one embassy in Jerusalem to Israel: The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ). Though Jerusalem was designated as an international city according to the 1948 League of Nations partition plan, seven countries and the Vatican have embassies to the Palestinian Authority in Jerusalem, without creating a corresponding embassy to Israel in West Jerusalem.
This Russian announcement seems to upstage US President Donald Trump, who has yet to make good on his campaign promise to move the US embassy Jerusalem. Unlike the Russians, Trump did not make his promise to Israel dependent on concessions to the Palestinians.
