[IsraelTimes] US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will raise the issue of the US Consulate in Jerusalem during his meetings with Israeli and Paleostinian leaders next week, Acting Assistant Secretary for Near Eastern Affairs Yael Lempert tells news hounds. Blinken had announced that the US would reopen the consulate during his last visit to the region in May. The mission had served as the de facto mission to the Paleostinians before it was shuttered by former US president Donald Trump ...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... in 2019. Since Blinken’s announcement though, no progress has been made on the matter, and several sources familiar with the matter told The Times of Israel in December that the plan had effectively been shelved due to Israeli opposition. Lempert tells news hounds during a briefing that the issue will be raised, but does not specify whether the US is still hoping to advance the matter, which had been a campaign promise of US President Joe The Big GuyBiden ![]() brilliant. Just look at the competent way he dumped Afghanistan... . |
