In this episode of Knesset Corner, Rabbi Dov Lipman tells Scott Kahn why President Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital is not meaninglessly symbolic, and why the potential for violence in response to announcements like these should not deter Israel or the United States from making them, regardless of whether anything practical changes on the ground. They also discuss the meaning behind the recent United Nations vote against Israel, as well as Prime Minister Netanyahu’s strategy in speaking openly about a likely police recommendation that he be indicted.
