Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat delivered a shot at outgoing President Barack Obama in a new video published Thursday.
According to The Jerusalem Post, Barkat accused Obama of "surrendering to the Iranians and radical Islam," along with "abandoning Israel."
"This week, President Donald Trump enters the White House," Barkat said. "Let's all welcome him together as our friend, thereby conveying a clear message to the world: Jerusalem is Israel's undivided capital!"
Trump has pushed for the United States to officially recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital by way of relocating the U.S. Embassy there from Tel Aviv.
