I believe this was COMPLETELY missed by our media:
<< Russia on Thursday [the article was published in June of 2017] publicly recognized West Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel.....
"We reaffirm our commitment to the UN-approved principles for a Palestinian-Israeli settlement, which include the status of East Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian state," the ministry said. "At the same time, we must state that in this context we view West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel."....
Israel declared Jerusalem its capital in 1950, but Russia is the first nation to recognize it as such, according to The Jerusalem Post. >>
