British Zionist group lists reasons why UK embassy should be moved to Jerusalem

Middle East Eye, an anti-Israel UK news site, has been closely following the potential "disaster" of Great Britain considering moving its Israel embassy to Jerusalem, which Prime Minister Liz Truss has mentioned she is considering.

They claim to have discovered a briefing note by Conservative Friends of Israel, which seems legitimate - and is a very good list of reasons why the UK, or any nation, should move embassies from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem:

It has long been customary for sovereign countries to choose their capital city and for embassies and other diplomatic offices to be located there.

It is understood that the UK Government already owns land in West Jerusalem for an embassy to be built there.

The State of Israel’s main institutions are all located in Jerusalem, including its Parliament, government ministries, Supreme Court and the residences of both the Prime Minister and President. UK diplomats arriving in the country will receive their credentials from the President in Jerusalem and throughout their service will routinely hold meetings in the city.

Efforts to secure a lasting peace agreement and a viable and prosperous Palestinian state will continue.

At its core, a move to relocate the British Embassy to Jerusalem would be a bureaucratic one that recognises the reality on the ground. It would not preclude the Palestinians from establishing their capital in East Jerusalem in the future, nor would it alter the UK’s longstanding view that the future status of the city is an issue that must be negotiated between the Israelis and Palestinians in bilateral negotiations.

Under any realistic two state solution, West Jerusalem would remain under Israeli rule – this has been long-accepted in peace negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians over decades.

The United States has formally recognised Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and moved its embassy there,as have Taiwan, Nauru, Honduras, Guatemala, and Kosovo. Australia and Russia have both recognised West Jerusalem as the capital.

The ground-breaking U.S.-sponsored Abraham Accords were negotiated following the U.S. relocating its Embassy to Jerusalem.

Remember how all the "experts" predicted that the US moving its embassy to Jerusalem would spark war and waves of terror?

They are claiming that again in the UK. And it is just as false.
