President Trump had a bold message Friday for all the critics of his decision to formally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and move the U.S. Embassy to the city from Tel Aviv: watch this video of my predecessors calling for the exact same thing.
“I fulfilled my campaign promise – others didn’t!” he tweeted early Friday morning along with a video montage of former Presidents Clinton, Obama, and George W. Bush all declaring Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel, with the latter making the case for moving the embassy.

In 1992, Clinton is seen saying: “Jerusalem is still the capital of Israel and must remain an undivided city accessible to all.”
In 2000, Bush appears arguing: “As soon as I take office, I will move the United States ambassador to the city Israel has chosen as its capital.”
