(Times of Israel) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his aides have been active partners working in coordination with President Trump and his administration in the lead-up to the president's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and declaring his intention to relocate the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, Israel's Hadashot TV said Tuesday. Netanyahu's team has been "encouraging, supporting, [and] reassuring" the Trump team over the likely fallout, the report said. Israel's Channel 10 reported that Trump "accepted the Israeli argument that said, Let's separate the issue of Jerusalem recognition from the peace process. Prime Minister Netanyahu and Ambassador Dermer succeeded in convincing President Trump that this is a case of righting a historical wrong."
