Zionist occupation administration pm benjamin netanyahu said during a visit to Brussels that most of the European Union (EU) countries expect to recognize "Jerusalem as the capital of israel".

Netanyahu, who met with foreign ministers of EU member states in Brussels to hold bilateral talks, defended the US decision to recognize "Jerusalem as the capital of israel".

"There is now an effort underway to bring forward a new peace proposal by the American administration. I think we should give peace a chance. I think we should see what is presented and see if we can advance this peace," Netanyahu continued.

"It is time for the Palestinians to recognize an Israeli state with Jerusalem as the capital," Netanyahu said, citing Jerusalem's promotion of the zionist occupation as a capital. (ILKHA)
