| Trump to keep Israeli embassy in Tel Aviv: reports |
| 2017-05-18 |
| [AA.TR] President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... will not relocate the U.S. embassy in Tel Aviv, Israel, to Jerusalem, according to multiple reports Wednesday. The decision would break a major campaign promise from Trump who vowed to make the highly controversial move, but would likely stave off a major diplomatic crisis. Israel and Paleostine each claim the contested city as their capital. Moving the American embassy there would be a de facto recognition of Israel's illusory sovereignty in the area and would rebuff Paleostinian claims. An unnamed senior White House official told Bloomberg Politics the move would not be "wise to do it at this time". "We’ve been very clear what our position is and what we would like to see done, but we’re not looking to provoke anyone when everyone’s playing really nice," the official said. |
