Israel's prime minister says Jerusalem will always be the "eternal, undivided" capital of Israel.
Addressing the opening ceremony of the new American Embassy in Jerusalem, Benjamin Netanyahu called it a "glorious" day.
Netanyahu thanked President Donald Trump for showing the "courage" to keep a key campaign promise and says relations with the U.S. have never been stronger.
He says Mideast peace must be founded on what he says is the "truth" recognized by the U.S.
"The truth is that Jerusalem has been and always will be the capital of the Jewish people, the capital of the Jewish state," he said.
The Palestinians claim Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem as their capital and have strongly objected to Trump's move.
