U.S. Ambassador attends opening of controversial archaeological site in East Jerusalem

U.S. Ambassador David Friedman participated in an event organized by the right-wing City of David organization to unveil an archeological site known as "Pilgrims' Road".

In his speach Friedman said: "Whether there was ever any doubt of the propriety and accuracy...of President Trump recognizing Jerusalem, I think this lays it to rest."
