“I promise you that the day will come when President Donald Trump moves the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem,” Pence said during an address at the Christians United for Israel summit in Washington, DC, on Monday, “It is not a question of if; it is only when.”

The Vice President assured the crowd that not only he, but President Trump were both proud supporters of the Jewish state.

He garnered sustained applause from the pro-Israel audience at the mention of Trump, who visited Israel on the second leg of his first foreign tour as US president in May.

“Under President Donald Trump, if the world knows nothing else, then the world will know this: America stands with Israel, now and always,” he insisted.

Before Pence’s speech, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to the gathering remotely, calling on the world to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of Israel.

“The capital of Israel is Jerusalem,” Netanyahu said. “The embassies of the world should be in Jerusalem.”

On the 2016 campaign trail, Trump came up with the controversial proposal of moving the US embassy to Jerusalem al-Quds despite the fact that such a move had long been considered at odds with US policy.

However, during his visit to Israel in May, Trump stepped back from his campaign pledge of moving the embassy. He renewed a waiver that keeps the embassy in Tel Aviv. Signing the waiver would mean no embassy relocation for at least another six months.

Israel lays claim to the entirety of Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital while Palestinians want its eastern part as the capital of their future state.
