Opinion in Brief

Tony Perkins: “For Donald Trump, yesterday’s ceremony marks another major milestone on the growing list of White House accomplishments. As Jared Kushner reminded everyone, ‘Presidents before him have backed down from their pledge to move the American embassy once they were in office. This president delivered. Because when President Trump makes a promise, he keeps it.’ As far back as the campaign, this president vowed to bring America’s physical presence in Israel in line with our stated policy: that Jerusalem is the eternal undivided capital of the Jewish people. The decision is a bold one, since it signals that America won’t be held hostage to a fractious peace process that’s frightened other administrations away from doing what this White House is. While other presidents let the threat of violence dictate American policy, Donald Trump refuses to make decisions based on what other groups think. As he’s done from the beginning, this president is sending a strong message that America is not going to be bullied or pushed around. The United States will stand with Israel in hopes that there can someday be managed peace.”
