Bennet hopes other countries will 'follow US footsteps'

Speaking at the Orthodox Union Organization's welcoming ceremony in Jerusalem in the wake of the US Embassy move, Education Minister Naftali Bennett said "history is being made today. 

"The US has taken the first courageous step and now we await for other countries to follow its footsteps.

"On behalf of Israel's government I would like to thank a true friend, the US President Donald Trump," Bennett said. "I was asked by the media what is the price we would have to pay (for the US Embassy move to Jerusalem). I think that we live in a time that nobody needs to pay for peace, but rather in a time of peace for peace."
