Jerusalem embassy act urging the federal government to relocate the American Embassy to jerusalem and to recognize that that city, and so importantly is israels capital this. Act passed congress by an overwhelming bipartisan majority and was reaffirmed by unanimous vote of the senate only six months ago. Yet for over 20 years, every previous american president has exercised the laws waiver, refusing to move the u. S. Embassy to jerusalem or to recognize jerusalem as israels capital city. President s issued these waivers under the belief that delaying the recognition of jerusalem would advance the cause of peace. Some say they lacked courage, but they made their best judgment based on facts as they understood them at the time. Nevertheless, the record is in. After more than two decades of waivers, we are no closer to a lasting Peace Agreement between israel and the palestinians. It would be folly to assume that repeating the exact same formula would now produce a different or better res

It could take some period of time, possibly years before an embassy is built in jerusalem and the site located and security put in place and the Embassy Opens and begins functioning in jerusalem the president is expected to recognize that it is the capital and that is expected to touch off reaction among palestinians who very much view East Jerusalem as the capital of a palestinian state.

Recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said the decision means the u. S. Can no longer act as a mediator in peace talks. Trump thank you. When i came into office, i promised to look at the worlds challenges with open eyes and very fresh thinking.
