The UK government has ‘earmarked’ a plot of land in Jerusalem in preparation for relocating the British embassy, according to a Cabinet minister.
CUFI “I’m delighted [Liz Truss] committed to review Embassy move,” Health Minister Robert Jenrick told the packed event on Sunday, “We have a site in Jerusalem waiting to go. It is time we took responsibility, built that Embassy and recognised the true capital of Israel is obviously Jerusalem”
During the event, Liz Truss reaffirmed her commitment to review the British embassy’s location – a promise she made in her leadership campaign. It is yet another major development towards a hopeful relocation of the embassy and follows the PM recently telling Israel’s Prime Minister Lapid that she was considering the move.
Truss also spoke of her determination to stop Iran getting nuclear weapons, and her determination to proceed with the Westminster Holocaust Memorial.
PM @trussliz: “In this world – where we are facing threats from authoritarian regimes who don’t believe in freedom and democracy – two free democracies, the UK and Israel, need to stand shoulder to shoulder and we will be even closer in the future” 🇬🇧🇮🇱 #CPC2022 pic.twitter.com/f5mWwJl6Am

At the event on Sunday, Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely spoke of the PM’s pledge to “review” the embassy move. She added:”Nothing can be more significant to show the friendship between Israel and the UK than this step.”
Ambassador Hotovely added:”There is just one capital to the UK, and that is London. There is just one capital to Israel, Jerusalem.” “For the last two thousand years it’s been Jerusalem, always our spiritual home. We can’t ignore the historic truth.”
Ambassador Hotovely also stated that when America, under former President Donald Trump, moved their embassy to Jerusalem, this decision “promoted peace.” She said the Abraham Accords were born after this move took place.
The Archbishop of Canterbury and Westminster have both spoken out against the proposed move – which would copy the controversial step taken by Donald Trump during his presidency.
VN Explorer A spokesperson for Justin Welby said he was “concerned about the potential impact” before “a negotiated settlement between Palestinians and Israelis has been reached”.
The most senior Catholic in England, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, has also written to Ms Truss to say he can “see no valid reason why a move needs now to be considered”.
It “would be seriously damaging to any possibility of lasting peace in the region and to the international reputation of the United Kingdom”, the letter from the Archbishop of Westminster reads.

I was initially worried about Liz Truss but perhaps she is not so bad after all. I will reserve judgement for now. Right now I’m struggling to find anything positive about the direction in which Europe (and indeed my own country) is heading.
Typing this after a long hiatus (I’ve been on a five-week holiday and busy with work and sorting out my souvenirs since I got back). Feeling guilty over my recent lack of participation as this is one of my favourite sites. I will make a point of checking my BNI posts more regularly from hereon.

If Margaret Thatcher really is her idol then we should expect good things to come from Liz Truss.

I don’t trust the motives of Britain’s new Prime Minister. She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
It’s a political power move because of Jerusalem’s enormous importance to the entire world.
If Truss cared about Israel and the safety of Jews she would have stopped the daily, mass importation of huge numbers of illegal Muslim invaders from the Huge Third World into Britain.
Truss and her wicked govt are speeding up the importation of Mohammad’s Armies into Britain placing Jews, Christians and all other non-Muslim innocents in extreme danger.

END of ARTICLE QUOTE
The Protestant Church of England and Catholic leaders in England reject God’s Eternal Word, the Holy Bible and are ANTI-CHRIST, JESUS CHRIST HATERS who are destined for an Eternity in Hell Fire.
The Dirty DECEIVERS make the rubbish claim that It “would seriously damage any possibility of lasting peace”
The Demonic Deceivers know that Warlord Mohammad’s Islam is a MURDER BLOOD CONQUEST Cult that Barbarically Slaughtered Hundreds of Millions of Non-Muslims for the sole reason the innocents didn’t believe in Mohammad, Mohammad’s Quran and Mohammad’s God of DEATH, DESTRUCTION and MASS SLAUGHTERS of Non Muslims.
Mohammad’s God of ETERNAL DARKNESS.
