Responding to the historic peace agreement normalizing economic relations between Serbia and Kosovo brokered by the United States, which incorporated Kosovo’s normalization of relations with Israel and Serbia moving its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem into the agreement, Rabbi Pesach Lerner, President of the Coalition for Jewish Values, issued the following statement:

It is astounding that the President and his administration would insert normalization of relations between Muslim-majority Kosovo and Israel, and Serbia moving its embassy to Jerusalem, into a historic peace agreement normalizing economic relations between the two countries. It demonstrates that the President truly cares for Israel’s fair treatment in the family of nations, and that his new efforts are making dramatic inroads in the Muslim world.
