Israeli media is reporting the U.S. Embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is imminent.
Israeli officials are reportedly expecting US President Donald Trump to make a landmark announcement in the coming days regarding the move of the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognizing the highly-sensitive holy city as Israel’s capital, according to a local TV report on Wednesday.
The report comes just a day after Trump’s vice-president Mike Pence stated that the President was “actively considering” how and when to move the US embassy.
According to the Hadashot report, the move could take place as soon as Sunday and Trump is instructing officials to prepare for it.
The news comes just one day after Vice President Mike Pence gave a speech at the UN, commemorating the 70th anniversary of Israel's foundation as a country.
70 years ago we recognized the future of the Jewish people lay in a state they could call their own, & today @POTUS is working tirelessly to strengthen the historic friendship b/w the US & Israel. If the world knows nothing else, the world will know this: America STANDS w/ Israel pic.twitter.com/6OiAO0AHVq— Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) November 28, 2017
President Trump promised to move the embassy on the campaign trail. Earlier this year, the White House officially postponed the decision to do so and did not indicate when a change would be made.
"While President Donald J. Trump signed the waiver under the Jerusalem Embassy Act and delayed moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no one should consider this step to be in any way a retreat from the President's strong support for Israel and for the United States-Israel alliance," the White House released in a June statement. "President Trump made this decision to maximize the chances of successfully negotiating a deal between Israel and the Palestinians, fulfilling his solemn obligation to defend America's national security interests. But, as he has repeatedly stated his intention to move the embassy, the question is not if that move happens, but only when."
No word from the White House yet about this latest development.

Praise Yehova!

About time.

Agreed. This is so under the radar.
Well now I'm not sure what to believe. I mean, who wouldn't commit suicide for 72 raisins? Wouldn't you?
I am getting tired of winning
What on earth are you talking about? Many globalists support moving the embassy to Jerusalem, for example, the neocons.
I notice that since Trump came on the scene, some conservatives are trying to use the terms “globalist” to mean liberal. The two things are not related. There are right and left supporters of globalism and right and left opponents of globalism.

Well, they look like raisins, sort of, but is that a jack rabbit disappearing in the distance?

Meanwhile DJT has not said or done anything to discourage the Iranians from setting up forward bases just 20 miles from the Golan, so they are moving full steam ahead ... leaving Israel swinging in the wind, or having to take on the Iranians, the Syrians, Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Palestinians alone - all with Russian air cover.
Great!
I hope this turns out to be true. If it does, kudos to President Trump!
Agreed. Which was preceded by Trump's trip, and makes me wonder if this didn't appear on that discussion agenda. And if it did, it certainly wasn't down the list. And now the gears aren't just turning, they're spinning.
That would be one heck of an assignment, though, wouldn't it? "Wanted: passport-stamper. Must be willing to risk death on a daily basis. Apply within."
we have a counsulate near the damascus gate (arab quarter) to the old city. It is protected on the outside by Armenian Christians and a few Israeli soldiers. The building is old but there is a lot of wire and electronics. I would think they will use it till a new one, could be built.
“...that embassy will have to be a high tech fortress. Maybe four or five stories of reinforced basements, not including separate basements for the parking garage.”
It’s been done before, like the gold depository at Fort Knox.
Just please don’t do like Jimmah Carter who allowed our new embassy in the USSR to be built with local labor.
Yeah but if they blow themselves up an kill others with them, that is not exactly suicide. Even if the media refers to it as suicide.
That is quite interesting. Thanks for the link
Why are you so negative?
You would rather lose?
