Jerusalem latest: Europe rejects Netanyahu’s wish for Europe to follow Trump’s lead on Israel's capital

Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has been rebuffed in meetings in Brussels after urging European foreign ministers to follow the US’s lead in recognising Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. During his first ever visit to the European Council’s headquarters on Monday, the Israeli leader told officials US President Donald Trump‘s move made peace in the Middle East possible “because recognising reality is the substance of peace, the foundation of peace”. Europe must “stop pampering the Palestinians”, the Israeli Prime Minister said.
