For almost three millennia, Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. This fact has finally been recognized by the present US administration. The US announcement has been met with joy and approval by vast majority Indians and by those in the Indian diaspora.

At this historic movement, we–citizens of India, members of the Indian diaspora and friends of India–call upon the hon’ble Government of India to recognize the City of Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel and establish an Embassy of the Republic of India in that ancient and holy city.

The State of Israel guarantees the rights of all worshippers to pray in the city of Jerusalem, and protects the holy shrines belonging to all three ancient monotheistic religions. Moving the Indian Embassy to Jerusalem will honor Israel's long-standing commitment to peace and coexistence, and further strengthen the ties between our two great nations and ancient civilizations.
