President Donald Trump will announce Wednesday that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and that the State Department will begin a process to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Trump will first announce that the “United States government recognizes that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel,” according to one of three senior administration officials who spoke with reporters on Tuesday.
The officials conveyed that the change is a recognition of “reality” — both the historic reality that Jerusalem has been the capital of the Jewish people and the Jewish faith since ancient times; and the modern reality that the city is the seat of government for Israel, housing its legislature, supreme court, prime minister, and executive agencies.
Second, Trump will direct the State Department to begin the process of moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. One official explained that the directive to the State Department requires it to develop a plan for this “with a minimum additional burden on taxpayers.” It was noted that there are approximately 1,000 personnel in Tel Aviv, and that it would take some time to find an appropriate site in Jerusalem. One official stated that despite hopes for an immediate move, it was a “practical impossibility to move the embassy tomorrow.”

Thanks....
Thank you, President Trump! May G-d bless you, you family and your administration, and may all of you be successful in all of your endeavors.
There are a lot of people who owe Trump an apology.
It is really hard to believe what he is doing.
MAGA!!!
Nobody tell Keith Ellison...he will declare it another impeachable offense.
I would asssume the majority are local hires.
Because an embassy is a platform for many USG agencies. The State Department makes up about a third or less of all Americans assigned to the Embassy.
Thank you Jesus for allowing me to be alive in these prophetic times.
OMG!
“I will bless you, and I will make your name great and you are to be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, but I will curse anyone who curses you; and by you all the families of the earth will be blessed” (Gen.12:2b-3 David Stern’s Complete Jewish Bible)...This was a promise Adonai (God) gave to Abraham...when Trump makes this announcement which will be greeted by cheers in Israel the return blessing to America will be substantial and THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP for recognizing something that historically has existed for a long time but the PC world ignores it because the Palestianians have a very powerful lobby...
Praise to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob...God to the house of David, God of the temple of Solomon.
God is using Donald Trump to achieve His plans. Love it.
Isn't it great?
Will we ever get tired of winning?
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they that love thee shall prosper. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will say now, peace be within thee. For the sake of the House of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.
– Psalm 122
You remember what happened at Benghazi when three guys tried to protect Ambassador Stevens and themselves? I trust the IDF, but I don’t trust the Arabs.
Now we have proof of the real reason all the political snakes hate Trump.
Just wow.
Dear Gd please protect President Trump and his family. And let him know our gratitude.
BTTT!
