President-elect Donald Trump's team is moving ahead with plans to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel out of Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, although diplomats and officials are ramping up warnings against the move.
CNN reported speculation in Israel is the U.S. will announce the move May 24, a national holiday in that country. Earlier this month, President Barack Obama renewed a waiver that blocks the move for six months.
Allies have said moving the embassy could ramp up violence.
"It's very dangerous," one European diplomat told CNN. "Chances for the peace process are going very quickly it's now or never. Violence is always a concern and, at this point, it's probably easy for Palestinians to demonstrate their frustration."
He added the move could also damage the U.S. standing in the peace process.
"If the U.S. changes its policy so dramatically, then it's very easy for others to dismiss their role and leadership in the peace process by saying, 'Well, now the Americans are so closely aligned with Israel, it's hard for us to take them as brokers.'"
The diplomat wants to wait on moving the embassy until a peace deal is in place.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas wrote to Trump saying he opposed the move, and has also written letters to the leaders of Russia, China, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Arab League.

Perhaps they mean Piece process?

Great cartoon.

One of the great things you can expect in the eighth year is the Day of Trumpets (the real one).
Halelu Yah!

And Kerry is dead serious too.

“Abbas told Trump the move would have a “disastrous impact on the peace process...”
Screw the Arabs. The wages of 70+ years of denying that Jews and Israel have any place in their historic homeland in the Mideast are just this - official recognition of Jerusalem as the capitol of the secular state of Israel by the world’s most powerful and prosperous nation. Maybe NOW you’ll finally negotiate in good faith, aware that the clock is ticking on the world’s patience with your childish and brutal behavior.
Maybe the allies should just give them Czechoslovakia, that might buy peace in our time.
And is that any different than it was Tuesday morning?

European diplomats aren’t even able to convince other countries to take back their illegals. No credibility at all.

Look up, for our redemption draweth nigh.
Posted Zechariah 12:1-3 in another thread earlier, too.
We are definitely heading that way. As prophesied.
Everyone please continue to pray for President-Elect Trump’s safety and wisdom and discernment for his SS team.
To say this is significant is a gross understatement.
Trump is Fearless!

Amen!
The time looks to be right around the corner. I’m a bit excited actually.
I love it. First thing is does is right.
What a statement in support of civilization.
Even the ones I was assured that he both would and should forget because "promises made to small groups don't count."
Either you are a man of your word or you are not. There is no middle ground.
Trump is showing that he is.
