Moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was a significant step taken by President Trump in 2018, coinciding with Israel&#8217;s 70th independence anniversary. Huckabee emphasized that the embassy will be a lasting presence in Jerusalem, wich he called the eternal capital of Israel.The U.S. has secured land for the new embassy, with Huckabee describing it as a historic milestone that reinforces the longstanding relationship between the U.S. and Israel. Other countries, including Guatemala, Paraguay, Kosovo, Honduras, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, and Colombia, have also moved or are planning to move their embassies to jerusalem. The decision is rooted in recognition of Jerusalem\u2019s historical and spiritual significance and aligns with the U.S. law and the Judeo-Christian values that influenced America&#8217;s founding. Israeli officials, such as Foreign Minister Gideon Sa\u2019ar, praised the move as a measure of historic justice, with an emphasis on the deep connection between the Jewish people and jerusalem.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee announced on Sunday that the United States will soon be breaking ground on a permanent embassy in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>In 2018, President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ap-for-american-jews-trump-is-key-figure-in-israeli-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">moved<\/a> the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, becoming the first nation to do so.
