Recognise Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel

Closed 424 signatures

What the petition asks

Given the appalling terrorist attack in Manchester on the back of rising antisemitism in the UK, I contend that it is time the UK government recognise Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and move the UK Embassy and Consulate there.
The Jewish people have a long and well established historical and religious connection to the Land of Israel. This is especially true of Jerusalem. We believe the PM and his government has neglected the rights and feelings of the Jewish community. We are sick of platitudes.
