“I spoke on the phone with US President Donald Trump and told him that he corrected historical injustice. Someone needed to tell the simple truth, and President Trump did it, just like he did with the recognition of the Golan Heights and the relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, ”Netanyahu wrote on Twitter.
Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced a change in the US position on the legitimacy of Israeli settlements in Palestine and their compliance with international law.
He noted that the United States rejects the statements of the previous administration of President Barack Obama, according to which Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is a violation of international law.
Israeli Foreign Ministry welcomed the decision of the United States.
