In an interview broadcast on Tuesday, Donald Trump said that if elected president he would move the United States' embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the Jerusalem Post reports.
Speaking to Christian Broadcasting Network show "The Brody File," the Republican candidate for nomination was asked whether he would follow the pledges made by Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio who have both said that they would move the embassy if elected.
“They want it in Jerusalem,” Trump said.
“Well I am for that 100 percent.
We are for that 100 percent.”
Israel claims Jerusalem as its capital, but neither the United States nor the international community recognizes the city which is holy to three faiths as such.
Former vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin endorsed Republican billionaire Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying the bombastic real estate mogul would "lead the charge" as America's next president.
