Trump was not elected to suck up to the Israel Lobby. Quite the opposite. Moving the embassy is a waste of money that does nothing to benefit America.
I suspect all of these media reports of discord and dissension are nothing more than smokescreens to occupy the attention of the media and the public while the Trump administration continues the same prudent policy that every administration has been following for years.
Trump was elected to fulfill his promises. This was one of them.
The US has an official building in Tel Aviv and another in Jerusalem.
The process is simple: Take a screw driver, walk up to the building in Tel Aviv, undo the screws holding the building's "Embassy" placard and remove the placard. Drive to Jerusalem, go up to the building, drill pilot holes, screw the "Embassy" placard to the building.

Noob, you have no idea what benefits America.
The promise needs to be fulfilled.

Now that he has proposed it, to not go ahead would be seen in the ME as a major victory for Islam and signal that DJT will not do a thing when Iranian forces cross into the Golan. Its what they would see: a weak president ... like Zero
It was a campaign promise and he was elected.
It’s a great idea and I hope it happens. But I won’t be massively disappointed if it doesn’t.
The movement of the Embassy to Jerusalem and the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital have been promised and "put on hold" for a few decades. The time is coming where either Trump extends the "we're gonna hold off on that promise for a bit longer" or does what was promised by other administrations.

and start thinking for yourself too.
In 1995, Congress passed an act saying they would recognize Jerusalem as the Capital - we also maintain a consulate there in the building that could serve as the Embassy for now.....
[Moving the embassy is a waste of money that does nothing to benefit America.]
Why it is important to recognize JERUSALEM as ISRAEL’S CAPITOL
Jerusalem – city of God
The Bible has nearly 800 references to Jerusalem- called “the City of our God” (Ps. 48:1,8) Jerusalem is God’s city, the city of Zion, he has invested his name there (Daniel 9:19).
Jerusalem is called the city of the great King (Matt.5:35). Yahweh is called “the God of Israel,” He is NOT called the God of any other nation in this manner, The God of Jerusalem is key to the Jewish people, to Jesus and to the end of the age.

I think the US showing a strong commitment to the permanence of Israel is very beneficial to America.
DU’s over that-away. Just go down the road
and turn left where the old school house used to be.
“Trump was not elected to suck up to the Israel Lobby.”
Wasn’t elected to suck up to the Palestinians either.
