In a statement to the Britain-based Jewish News on Friday, a spokesperson for the Archbishop said, “The Archbishop is concerned about the potential impact of moving the British Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem before a negotiated settlement between Palestinians and Israelis has been reached. He is in touch with Christian leaders in the Holy Land and continues to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.”
Truss told Prime Minister Yair Lapid during a recent meeting that she is reviewing moving the British embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Truss initially pledged to review moving the embassy to Jerusalem last month, when she was running for the leadership of the Conservative Party. She made the pledge in a letter to the Conservative Friends of Israel.
The Archbishop of Canterbury’s statement came one day after the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, Cardinal Vincent Nichols, expressed “profound concerns” about Truss’ review. READ MORE
