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.

Don’t know what qualifies Kushner with regard to the peace process but Bob Beckelnsaid,last week, that if anyone could get it done it’s Kushner.

The so-called “peace process” mainly is an opportunity for loser DIPLOMATS to stay in nice hotels and get free food with their friends at US taxpayer expense.

I wonder how Israel or DJT would react to an attack on our new embassy?

“...destroy the Peace Process...”

Seriously?! Damn towel-headed, goat-humping, wife-beating, child-molesting Muzzie don’t want peace and never have. He’ll, they are to ones attacking cicikians, throwing rocks and cutting throats. When was the last time anybody saw an Israeli kidnap and behead a Muzzie? NEVER!

Is there any other country where the embassy is not in the capital?
Jerusalem is also the largest city in Israel.

there is no ‘international law’ forcing USA to put its embassy in Tel Aviv when Israel’s capitol is Jerusalem

no “international law” can force USA to put our embassies anywhere other than where they belong (in every nation’s capitol, by agreement with each country as to specific siting in their capitol city)

we DEFINITELY pray that DJT DOES INDEED remove the Nazis from the SnakeDept!

I am hoping it happens, but there will be an explosive response from the Muslim world.

***there will be an explosive response from the Muslim world.***

Donald Trump said in his inaugural speech that he will eliminate radical islam from the face of the earth. This will be a great way to identify them.
