Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attended a special Tuesday evening event marking the first anniversary of the transfer of the United States Embassy to Jerusalem.
The US embassy was moved to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv on May 14, 2018.
Netanyahu was one of the featured speakers in the event, the other being US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. The event was aired live via the embassy’s Facebook page.
“Contrary to all the negative predictions, the Jerusalem embassy has been an extraordinary success, advancing peaceful coexistence, bilateral cooperation and cultural exchange between and among Israelis, Palestinians and Americans,” Friedman wrote in an op-ed published by Israel Hayom on Sunday.
“Most of all, the United States Embassy in Jerusalem stands for the truth – the bedrock of all successful policies. Moving our embassy places the United States firmly on the right side of history,” he added.
The embassy issued a security alert on Monday night stating that “terrorist groups may choose the anniversary, which coincides with the Eurovision Song Contest in Tel Aviv (May 14-18), or Nakba Day (May 15), to conduct violent protests or an attack.”
The message encouraged US citizens “to remain vigilant and take appropriate steps to increase their security awareness.”
