When it comes to scoring some browning points, moving your embassy to Jerusalem is a great way of showing your devotion towards your Western allies and their policies.

As a bonus, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu is even declaring that he’s willing to offer ‘preferential treatment’ to the first 10 countries to move their embassies to Jerusalem.
