No comment on Trump's Jerusalem move from Netanyahu in first speech

JERUSALEM – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not comment on the planned US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital on Wednesday during his first public remarks since the White House confirmed the new policy.

In his 21-minute speech to a Jerusalem diplomatic conference, Netanyahu outlined Israel's economic strengths and international outreach, emphasizing the importance of ties with the United States. But he did not mention President Donald Trump's Jerusalem announcement, due later on Wednesday.
