White House confirms relocation of US Israel embassy to Jerusalem
Business Standard ^ | January 23, 2017 | ANI

In a highly controversial move, President of the United States Donald Trump will on Monday announce to move the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The White House has confirmed that Donald Trump's team is in the "beginning stages" of a plan to relocate US Israeli embassy to Jerusalem.

An Israeli news outlet earlier reported an anonymous source as saying the announcement on America's embassy moving from Tel Aviv would be made by a member of Trump administration on Monday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to speak with Trump by telephone on Sunday regarding the move.

The decision to relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem would represent a major break with US policy.

The Palestinians have said that an embassy move would kill any prospect for peace.

Sheikh Ekrema Sabri, imam of the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, has previously warned that relocating the embassy would be as good as a "declaration of war".

Donald Trump has said repeatedly that he intends to relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem, despite warnings the move would violate international law and destroy the peace process.

This is good news. You know he’s getting a lot of pressure to not do this but he’s keeping a promise and it is good sign.

So called Islamic peace is limited to believers, not the humanity of non-believers! Muslims know this better than non-believers, infidels & Kafiers!

Wow, talk about shaking things up. Trump moves quickly.

The conventional warnings about jeopardizing the “peace process” are hard to take seriously. For how many decades and through how many administrations has the peace process dragged on now? I think this actually increases the chances of a resolution simply because it jolts things out of their rut. It will provoke a crisis but it will be a productive crisis.

Wow, I Never knew that some international legal organization can decide where a nation places its capital. Ok, so where should France move its capital?

[Donald Trump has said repeatedly that he intends to relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem, despite warnings the move would violate international law and destroy the LAND FOR WAR AND NOT FOR peace process.] Truth is truth.

President Donald Trump is right as it is PAST time to admit that the Islamic terrorists surrounding Israel on all sides are not for peace, war is in their heart. Show me a peaceful Muslim and I will show you one who a heretic to the written Koran, Islam is commanded in their Book to kill all Jews and Christians and enslave all who are not Muslims to fulfill their ungodly religious Caliphate. How long till Americans wake up, they have been asleep for so long and are the sleeping giant that must wake up to the truth. The truth will set them free from the lies of global socialism and Islamic terrorism and....... Jesus Christ is the way and the truth and the life, the one mediator between God and man. He is Lord of all and all will know that one day. God bless and save both Israel and America from the enemies without and from within, the liberal leftist fools.

You just have to love Donald J. Trump more and more every day. Yea, he may have been a jerk in his younger years - but if any man presented “fruits worthy of repentance” (Luke 3:8) it would be our 45th President.

>>>“Peace” for Palestinians “peace” means kill every jew<<<

“peace” means pieces of Jews all over the roadway.

You know, the international law that says the sovereign nation of the United States of America has no right to build its embassy anywhere other than where the UN says it can. Phooey!

[an EXCELLENT first step ...

(next, I pray, DJT will clean the Nazis out of the SnakeDept and our defense/intelligence/security agencies where Obama especially liked to put them)]

And amen to that, God bless President Donald Trump.

What peace process?

The Middle East Peace Process is to peace what processed Cheez Whiz is to real cheese.1
_________________________
1. In case you were wondering: "As of 2016, Kraft describes Cheez Whiz as a "cheese dip" with the word "cheese" spelled correctly. The ingredients list contains "cheese culture" but does not, according to Kraft, actually contain any "cheese."
