The correct answer is C) USA.
In a significant and controversial move, the United States, under President Donald Trump, recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocated its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The new embassy officially opened on May 14, 2018, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the state of Israel. This decision was contrary to the long-standing international consensus that the status of Jerusalem should be resolved through negotiations.
