LISTEN TO THEM TALK

CNN: Benjamin Netanyahu: About time US recognized Jerusalem as capital


During the interview with CNN, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "several countries" are considering moving their embassies to Jerusalem in the wake of US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize the city as the capital of Israel. 

On Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Netanyahu added: "I think what it does is finally recognize a historical truth.

"Jerusalem has been the capital of Israel for 3,000 years from the time of King David. It has been the capital of Israel for 70 years, and it's about time that the US said, and I'm glad they said, 'This is the capital and we recognize it' and I think that's going to be followed by other countries."

"The most important condition that we need for an effective, sustainable peace for both Palestinians and Israelis and for the region is for a situation where Israel has overriding security control of this tiny area," Netanyahu said, referring to the entirety of Israel and the West Bank.

Being a critical thinker will still be a valued skillset for the new decade 2020. Critical thinking involves being able to use logic and reasoning to interrogate an issue or problem, consider various solutions to the problem, and weigh up the pros and cons of each approach.
