Pierre Poilievre said during the briefing that "during the election campaign I said that I recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and today as the leader of the opposition, the leader of the Conservative Party and a sitting member of parliament, I once again say clearly and unequivocally - Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and when I am elected Prime Minister of Canada, I will see to it that the embassy is moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem."
The head of “Keep Jerusalem”, Chaim Silberstein, expressed great satisfaction with the Conservative Party leader's position and said that "the purpose of the visit was to hear a clear official statement from the leader of the opposition and this goal was fully achieved."
