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.

Muslims define “peace” as the eradication of all opposition to Islam.

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)

close down the “palestinian” delegation in WashDC and try to also close down the Moslem Brotherhoood terrorist front group which is what I believe both CAIR and JStreet are, in essence

make sure Soros=funded outfits do NOT get access to influence American policy or governmental decisions!!!!

All I want is “Peace”.....”Peace”.....”Peace”

A little “peace” of Poland
A little “peace” of France
A little “peace” of Austria
And Hungary perchance.

John Kerry is offering come out of retirement and save the peace in the Mid East that he has so skillfully hobbled together these past 4 years.

I’d love to spend 20 minutes explaining the term “MIRV” to a roomful of Arab leaders. I think you’d see a different attitude after that.

What is this, ‘peace’ those goat-humping Palis are always talking about?

Why not move our Embassy to The Cradle of Civilization?

I Stand With BiBi! Always!

But Mr. Maddow says Trump is against Jews and an anti-Semite.

STFU

“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.”

International Law. The Piece Process. Bah! Every time I hear those words, I deliberately break wind. (adapted from quote of Al Ginzberg)
