Congressman Mario diaz-balart Congressman Jody hice congressman scott
taylor congressman lee Zeldin congressman George holding and
congressman Ron DeSantis
just last year congressman DeSantis stood at a podium here in Jerusalem and
made a passionate and compelling case that this day would come and so it has
I'd also like to welcome with the governor of my home state of Florida who
also has been a strong advocate for Jerusalem Governor Rick Scott in 1995
the Jerusalem embassy Act became law voted in favor overwhelmingly by both
houses of Congress and led I should add by a former senator who is here today
senator joseph Lieberman that law which was reaffirmed just last year by
there's huh since the transfer of the embassy became the law of the land but
today we keep our promise to the American people and we extend to Israel
the same right we extend to every other nation the right to designate its
capital city city I should add which houses all three seats of government
with the 3,000 year old history dating back to the time when King David made
Jerusalem the capital of ancient Israel Jerusalem has inspired Americans since
well before the founding of our Republic John Winthrop in 1630 as he approached
Massachusetts Bay spoke of his quest to build the New Jerusalem as a city on a
hill a phrase later expanded by President Reagan to be a shining city on
a hill the United States established its consulate in Jerusalem in 1840 for a
hundred and four years before the birth of the State of Israel and President
Lincoln relaxing for the first time in years as the Civil War came to an end
told his wife Mary that was finally time for him to take some rest and he
expressed his hope and desire to visit the holy city of Jerusalem many say that
those were his last words as he sat next to her in Ford's Theater I think
President Lincoln is smiling today as another great Republican Donald J Trump
opens our embassy in the city that Lincoln admired so much
I would like to thank the faith leaders who are here and the entire faith
community for their support and I'd like to now call upon two of them dr. Robert
Jeffress of the First Baptist Church of Dallas along with rabbi Zalman Wallach
from Chabad to offer a few words of inspiration
Heavenly Father we come before you the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob thanking
you for bringing us to this momentous occasion in the life of your people and
in the history of our world four thousand years ago you said to your
servant Abraham that you would make him the father of a great nation a nation
through whom the whole world would be blessed and now as we look back we see
how Israel has been that blessing to the entire world through her innovations in
medicine technology and energy but most of all Israel has blessed this world by
pointing to us to you the one true God through the message of her prophets the
scriptures and the Messiah we come before you today thanking you for your
providential and powerful protection of this nation from all who would seek to
destroy her this nation the nation of Israel you have called the apple of your
eye and father we are also grateful as we think about what happened 70 years
ago today at this very moment when you fulfilled the prophecies of the prophets
from thousands of years ago and regathered your people in this promised
land now we want to thank you especially today for the courageous
leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his determination to do
whatever it takes to protect his people at all costs we are equally grateful for
the skillful work of our ambassador David Friedman who so effectively
represents our United States policy of always standing by and supporting our
most reliable ally and friend in the Middle East and now father as we come to
dedicate this embassy in the city of Jerusalem the city that you named is the
capital of Israel three thousand years ago we want to thank you for the
tremendous leadership of our great president Donald J Trump
without president Trump's determination resolve courage we would not be here
today and I believe father I speak for every one of us when we say we thank you
every day that you have given us a president who boldly stands on the right
side of history but more importantly stands on the right side of you oh god
when it comes to Israel and now today father we want to pray what the psalmist
prayed 3,000 years ago pray for the Peace of Jerusalem may
those who love her prosper may peace dwell within her walls and we pray this
in the name and the spirit of the Prince of Peace Jesus our Lord amen
distinguished guests I'll just referred to by ambassador
Freedman and honored friends it is with profound gratitude to God Almighty that
I addressed you here today at the Embassy of the United States of America
to Israel in the holy city and eternal capital of the Jewish people Jerusalem
truth is not determined by popular opinion it is eternal not ephemeral
unchanging not relative truth stands the test of time while empires ideologies
and philosophies rise and fall the Jewish people's attachment to this holy
city has never waned or faltered it is truth
King David imagined a temple here and the son Solomon built it here the
prophets pleaded cajoled and thundered here from cradle to grave
for thousands of years Jews of every extraction have had the beautiful name
of this beautiful city on their lips Jerusalem Jews have lived here and when
they didn't they directed their prayers here that is truth and today friends we
celebrate the acknowledgment this truth by a country that has been
blessed by God with global influence the United States of America
we applaud and thank the United States of America and president Donald Trump
for standing for this truth and for continuously exhibiting a fearless
commitment to Israel on the world stage we pray that God Almighty continued to
bless the United States her people and her leaders and we pray that other
countries follow their example of affirming the Jewish people's eternal
bond with this holy city there is no more quintessentially Jewish idea and
aspiration than peace the beauty of Jerusalem as my mentor the Lubavitcher
Rebbe Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson of blessed memory once said is that it's
walls are unifying walls within the confines of Jerusalem every man woman
and child became part of something greater than themselves peace is
ingrained in the mayor of Jerusalem but the Prophet Zechariah said you must love
truth and peace peace Shalom is the inseparable sister of truth I pray that
from today's exalting of truth there flow to Jerusalem her neighbors and to
the entire world a true and perfect peace may that they visualize by the
prophets swiftly arrived when nation shall not take up a sword against nation
when there will be harmony not war respect not envy love not hate in the
words of the psalmist who sang his longing for peace not far from right
here pray for the Peace of Jerusalem may those who love you be at peace Amane
Thank You pastor Jeffress and rabbi Wallach leading the president's
delegation to this historic event is Deputy Secretary of State John J
Sullivan Deputy Secretary Sullivan served last month as our acting
Secretary of State leading the transition of leadership to Secretary of
State Mike Pompeo he then returned to the number two position in the State
Department I am honored to introduce deputy
secretary John J Sullivan Thank You ambassador Friedman for those kind
remarks on behalf of secretary Pompeo thank you for your dedicated efforts to
establish this diplomatic mission and to ensure the strongest possible bond
between Israel and the United States we're also grateful to you in your team
for the close coordination in months of detailed planning to prepare for this
important day of celebration it's an honor for me to be part of president
Trump's official delegation on this momentous occasion on a day as you have
already noted so steeped in history it's a privilege to stand before so many
distinguished guests political and religious leaders of Israel and the
United States and to welcome you all to the opening of the u.s. embassy in
Jerusalem Israel
I also come with a message from secretary Pompeo
who sends his best wishes it meant a great deal to him that he was able to
visit Israel on his first trip overseas and he regrets that he's unable to be
here with us today in person the secretary asked me to convey on his
behalf the great pride that he feels a pride that I share on this historic day
for our two countries as president Trump said in December
moving the u.s. embassy embassy to Jerusalem is first a recognition of
reality a reality many many years in the making
Jerusalem is indisputably the capital of Israel a capital chosen by a sovereign
nation as the seat of its government but moving the US embassy on a broader scale
is also a step towards advancing peace in this city in the broader region and
throughout the world the streets of Jerusalem with its many temples mosques
and churches point to its place in history but in Jerusalem we can also see
a glimmer of the future filled with hope the hope for greater understanding and
peace today I'm confident that the u.s. embassy in Jerusalem will be in the
words of President Trump a magnificent tribute to peace that is what we are
celebrating here today as we officially open the newest diplomatic mission of
the United States of America as we do we also recognize the deep and historic
friendship that brought this mission into being on this day as several have
noted the United States recognized the State of Israel it is fitting that today
we mark a new milestone and a new day of bright hope and promise for the United
States and Israel the State Department is proud to continue our close
cooperation with the Israeli government and people from our new embassy here in
Jerusalem we're grateful to President Rivlin
Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for their
friendship in their hard work to keep our alliance ironclad thank you all for
your tremendous support as we sought to make the president's pledge of the move
of our embassy a reality we're eager to make our bonds even stronger from this
very place the United States is committed to Israel we're committed to
our alliance and we are committed to building a more of peaceful more
prosperous future together may God bless the us-israel alliance on this historic
day and I thank you for letting me be a part of it
Thank You mr. Deputy Secretary President Trump who made this all reality could
not be here today but did record a message to honor us at this ceremony
please watch and listen exactly 70 years ago the United States under President
Harry Truman became the first nation to recognize the State of Israel today we
officially opened the United States Embassy in Jerusalem
congratulations it's been a long time coming
almost immediately after declaring statehood in 1948 Israel designated the
city of Jerusalem as its capital the capital the Jewish people established in
ancient times so important today Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's
government it is the home of the Israeli legislature and the Israeli Supreme
Court and Israel's prime minister and president Israel is a sovereign nation
with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own
capital yet for many years we fail to acknowledge the obvious the plain
reality that Israel's capital is Jerusalem on December 6 2017 at my
direction the United States finally and recognized Jerusalem as the true capital
of Israel today we follow through on this recognition and open our embassy in
the historic and sacred land of Jerusalem and we're opening it
many many years ahead of schedule as I said in December our greatest hope
is for peace the United States remains fully committed to facilitating a
lasting peace agreement and we continue to support the status quo at Jerusalem's
holy sites including at the Temple Mount also known as Haram al-sharif this city
and its entire nation is a testament to the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish
people the United States will always be a great friend of Israel and a partner
in the cause of freedom and peace we wish ambassador Freedman good luck as he
takes up his office in this beautiful Jerusalem embassy and we extend a hand
in friendship to Israel the Palestinians and to all of their neighbors may there
be peace may God bless this embassy may God bless all who serve there and may
God bless the United States of America thank you

stronger connection to this holy city than our next speaker I'd like to

never will forget for three thousand years the Jewish people kept the faith
in Jerusalem for three thousand years we prayed for Jerusalem and since the
establishment of the State of Israel 70 years ago Jerusalem has been the capital
of Israel and the obvious as President Abbas said the obvious should be set
from time to time even could be written from time to time Jerusalem is the heart
of serenity of the State of Israel yes president Trump Jerusalem is home to the
President of Israel Jerusalem is home to the government of Israel Jerusalem is a
home to the Knesset the Parliament of Israel Jerusalem is home to the Supreme
Court of Israel the state of Israel's commitment to Jerusalem is not only a
commitment to the history of the Jewish people but is also a commitment to all
residents in Jerusalem all the Jerusalemites
Jerusalem is a microcosm America custom of our ability Jews and Arabs to live
together the unity of Jerusalem is also seen in that all living in the city are
equal and as of this happy day Jerusalem is also the embassy to Israel of the
United States of America thanks God
the American Congress has for many years now recognized Jerusalem as the capital
of Israel and I want to say to thank the many members of the Congress and Senate
Democrats and Republicans Republicans and Democrats alike for the love and
support from for Israel in every US election every presidential candidate
has promised to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem finally we have a
leader who promised this and also kept his promise
and for this we say the wolf check a Yahoo techie Malu Reggiano last man ah

Thank You president Rivlin the State of Israel has many advocates in the White
House but none have shown greater advocacy for nor greater effort to
advance the special relationship between Israel and the United States and the
cause of regional peace then my good friend Jared Kushner mr. Kirschner will
now offer his thoughts on this historic moment
Thank You ambassador Friedman you've really done a great job today and you've
done a great job as an ambassador but today's really been spectacular so thank
you very much I am so proud to be here today in Jerusalem the eternal heart of
the Jewish people and I'm especially honored to be here today as a
representative of the 45th President of the United States Donald J Trump I also
want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu and Sarah for being with us here today
to celebrate this historic occasion thank you very much I'd like to ask all
the members of Congress who are here on their delegations to rise and be
recognized today would not be possible without your advocacy throughout the
years
Thank You deputy secretary Sullivan for leading our delegation secretary
minuchin for your leadership and for your friendship and of course Ivanka
thank you for all the great work you do to help so many people in our country
and throughout the world including me so I love you I also want to acknowledge
vice president Mike Pence for his tireless efforts to strengthen the
us-israel relationship in December of last year president Trump announced to
the world that the United States would finally recognize the truth that
Jerusalem is the capital of Israel he also declared that we would soon move
our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and just five months later we are
standing on these grounds while presidents before him have backed down
from their pledge to move the American Embassy once in office this president
delivered because when President Trump makes a promise he keeps it
but today also demonstrates American leadership by moving our embassy to
Jerusalem we have shown the world once again that the United States can be
trusted we stand with our friends and our allies and above all else we've
shown that the United States of America will do what's right and so we have
Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to determine its own capital the
same right that is enjoyed by every other country in the world in taking
this action the United States has also chosen to strengthen the bond between
our two countries our special bond is the envy of nations
throughout the world this bond is forged through shared history sustained through
shared interests and immortalized through shared principles the United
States stands with Israel because we both believe in freedom we stand
together because we both believe in human rights we stand together because
we believe democracy is worth defending and the United States stands with Israel
because we believe we know that it is the right thing to do
when we stand together for the principles and the values we share we
shine a light of justice unto the world Israel proves every day the boundless
power of freedom this land is the only land in the Middle East in which Jews
Muslims and Christians and people of all faiths participate and worship freely
according to their beliefs Israel protects women's rights freedom of
speech and the right of every individual to reach their god-given potential these
are the same values that the United States cherishes these are the values
that bind us together these are also the values that have made Israel one of the
most vibrant nations in the world this tiny population has spurred advancements
in technology medicine and agriculture making the world a healthier safer and
more prosperous place these are the blessings we hope Israel can one day
share with its neighbors last week President Trump acknowledged another
truth and kept another promise he announced his intention to exit the
dangerous flawed and one-sided Iran deal
Iran's aggression threatens the many peace-loving citizens throughout the
region and the entire world from Israel to Jordan to Egypt to Saudi Arabia and
beyond many leaders are fighting to modernize their countries and create
better lives for their people in confronting common threats and in
pursuit of common interests previously unimaginable opportunities and alliances
are emerging I am also proud to be here today
as a member of the team that president Trump has entrusted to lead the efforts
to bring peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians it has been an honor to
work with our new Secretary of State Mike Pompeo national security advisor
John Bolton
our ambassador David Friedman and our Special Representative Jason Greenblatt
who really does so much pretty well I
also want to acknowledge ambassador Nikki Haley who really has created a new
day for Israel anyway
on December 6 president Trump was very clear that his decision and today's
celebration do not reflect a departure from our strong commitment to lasting
peace a peace that overcomes the conflicts of the past in order to give
our children a brighter and more boundless future as we have seen from
the protests of the last month and even today those provoking violence are part
of the problem and not part of the solution the United States is prepared
to support a peace agreement in every way that we can we believe that it is
possible for both sides to gain more than they give so that all people can
live in peace safe from danger free from fear and able to pursue their dreams the
United States recognizes the sensitivity surrounding Jerusalem a city that means
so much to so many Jerusalem is a city unique in the history of civilization no
other place on earth can claim significance to three major religions
each day Jews pray at the Western Wall Muslims bow in prayer at al-aqsa mosque
and Christians worship at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre that is why President
Trump has called many times including right now on all parties to maintain the
status quo Jerusalem's holy sites including the Temple Mount also known as
Haram al-sharif while the challenges to peace are numerous I have personally
seen that the determination of the leaders in the region and throughout the
world remains steadfast they have seen too much pain sorrow and wasted
opportunity and they think it's time to try something better
throughout history Jerusalem has been the victim of war and conquest it has
been used to divide people and to instigate conflict by those with evil
intentions but it does not have to be this way Jerusalem must remain a city
that brings people of all faiths together to visit to worship to respect
each other and to appreciate the majesty of history and the glory of God's
creation Israel has been a responsible custodian
of Jerusalem and has kept these religious sites open to all in fact
immediately after the 1967 war one of the first acts of the Knesset was to
adopt the protection of holy places law ensuring access to places of worship to
members of all religions funds were immediately allocated to repair any
damage to the churches mosques and synagogues that suffered through war
conflict and neglect as Israel turned 70 the search for a lasting peace turns
over a new leaf one of realism and of not being afraid
to stand strongly with our allies for what is good for what is right and for
what is true when there when there is peace in this region we will look back
upon this day and remember that the journey to peace started with a strong
America recognizing the truth
but pursuit of peace is the noblest pursuit of humankind
I believe pieces Within Reach if we dare to believe that the future can be
different from the past that we are not condemned to relive history and that the
way things were is not how they must forever be it will not be an easy road
and it will be filled with difficult moments and tough decisions but if we
dream big if we lead with courage we can change the trajectory for millions from
hopeless to boundless this is a hope that many of us know personally I am
here today as a proud American and the grandson of Holocaust survivors during
World War two my late grandparents Ray and Joseph
Kushner fled their homes to the forests of Belarus to escape Nazi persecution
somehow they managed to resist the horrors and survive after the war they
built a new life in America a beacon of hope a land of limitless opportunity in
my office in the White House I keep a photo of them on my desk to remind me of
how high the stakes are when nations fail to recognize right from wrong and
the decisive power America has to tip the scales in favor of the righteous
today we take another historic step in that direction
I am confident that as a result our nation's will be stronger our peoples
more prosperous and our futures filled with even greater promise for peace may
God bless you may God bless Israel may God bless the United States of America
Jarrid just referred to as two grandparents who survived the Holocaust
to the Holocaust survivors who are here with us today
and to those who are watching on television who thought that this day
would never come we can never relieve the nightmare of
your past but we do hope that today brings you some measure of comfort it is
now my great honor to call upon the prime minister of the state of Israel
Benjamin Netanyahu

of you for the pursuit of peace and for president Trump himself thank you

charming houses here many open fields I remember ambling in these fields with
my brother yoni he was six I was three on my hand very typed we'd walked to
this Wanderers house a professor joseph Klausner the renowned jewish historian
was my father's teacher I used to peer through the slats of the wooden
synagogue where he and the great Israeli writers I had known used to pray on
Shabbat and David I would approach this place right here but only so far because
my mother told me you can't go any further this was near the border it was
exposed to sniper fire that was then this is now today today the most the
Embassy of the most powerful nation on earth our greatest ally the United
States of America today its embassy opened here
what a difference what a difference so for me this spot brings back personal
memories but for our people it evokes profound collective memories of the
greatest moments we have known on this city on a hill in Jerusalem in Jerusalem
Abram passed the greatest test of faith and the right to be the father of our
nation in Jerusalem King David established our capital 3,000 years ago
in Jerusalem King Solomon built our temple which stood for many centuries in
Jerusalem Jewish exile from Babylon rebuilt the temple which stood for many
more centuries in Jerusalem the Maccabees rededicated that temple and
restored Jewish sovereignty in this land and it was here in Jerusalem some 2,000
years later that the soldiers of Israel spoke three immortal words how a bite be
a den the Temple Mount is in our hands words that lifted the spirit of the
entire nation we are in Jerusalem and we are here to stay
we are here in Jerusalem protected by the brave soldiers of the army of Israel
led by our chief of staff Gaddy Eisen code and our brave soldiers our brave
soldier of protecting the borders of Israel as we speak today we salute them
all and the members of our security forces the Shin Bet and the Mossad whose
head is with us today we salute you all all of you we gather
here today to celebrate another historic day in the life of this city which I
know will take its place alongside other momentous decisions in the history of
our people over a century ago the Balfour Declaration recognized the right
of the Jewish people to unnatural home in this land and exactly 70 years ago
today President Truman became the first world leader to recognize the newborn
Jewish state last December President Trump became the first world leader to
recognize Jerusalem as our capital and today the United States of America is
