Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauded U.S. President Donald Trump's official recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital on Wednesday, calling it a "historic day."

He said that any peace agreement with the Palestinians must include Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and added that there will be no change in the status of the city's holy sites.

"Jerusalem has been the focus of our hopes, our dreams, our prayers for three millennia," said the prime minister. "Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people for 3,000 years."

"It's so it's rare to be able to speak of new and genuine milestones in the glorious history of this city, yet today's pronouncement by President Trump is such an occasion," said Netanyahu.
