President-elect Trump won't get any help from the State Department in implementing Israeli-relation policies opposed by President Obama before his inauguration. "The short answer is no," State Department spokesman John Kirby told reporters. "You have one president at a time."
Obama's team invoked that axiom to justify high-profile foreign policy actions in recent weeks, notably his decisions to sanction Russia over the election year cyberattacks and to allow the United Nations Security Council to condemn Israeli settlement construction.
Kirby's statement extended that principle to barring any aid in helping the Trump team prepare to move the United States embassy to Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem or recognize Jerusalem as the nation's capital.

More people he needs to fire.
Mr Kirby will be packing his s**t on Jan 20
Anybody else get the feeling our government was so much worse that we could have ever thought?
I would issue broad orders for information upon inauguration. THose who do not comply cited for insubordination.
Anti-transition action by Swampy Bottom. Stand by to be drained.

This. Why do these people think they are impossible to fire? I would have at least STALLED and said I was looking into it.
Starting at the top of the command chain and move on down, firing everyone instantly until the cancer is cut out. Just like when a surgeon goes in to remove a tumor and finds other infected tissue that also must be removed.
Good luck putting your state department experience of making giant boogers on your desk with rubber glue and your vast knowledge of the Internet porn sites on your resume!
This is a no-win issue for Trump, and he may want to take a cue from the State Department's intransigence and walk away from it. It is so far down the list of priorities facing this country that it's almost disturbing to see it getting so much media attention.
He’s actually right. Obama is president until noon on Jan 20. At 12:01pm, the changes, housecleaning, and dismissals can begin. We may not like Obama’s policies, but we are stuck with them for 2 more weeks.

I guess you can’t expect the alligators to just cooperate and peacefully swim down the drain.
A group of people less necessary than air traffic controllers.
Well, make a list of people Congress cuts salary to $1 if they can’t fire him.
Drain the swamp.
Mr Kirby seems like the type who has been packing s**t for decades.
Fire as many as he can, and transfer the others to the consulate in Tierra del Fuego
