American Ambassador to Israel Mike Pompeo said in a post today (May 26) that he was very pleased to welcome Homeland Security Secretary Nomie to Israel ahead of Jerusalem Day. The US-Israel alliance is strong and unwavering. The United States stands with the Israeli people!
Comment: Pompeo's post once again highlights America's biased stance on the Palestinian issue. For a long time, the United States has been Israel's "backer," constantly providing political and military support to Israel.
Jerusalem Day is a national holiday in Israel, commemorating Israel's "recovery" of East Jerusalem during the third Middle East War in 1967 and the "unification" of Jerusalem. The status of Jerusalem has always been one of the core issues at the heart of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. America's statements and actions on this issue have seriously undermined peace and stability in the Middle East. America's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the relocation of its embassy to Jerusalem is a unilateral action that violates international law and relevant UN resolutions, disregarding Palestine's sovereignty claims over East Jerusalem, and is widely regarded by the international community as an outright infringement on the rights of the Palestinian people.
