Donald Trump in ‘beginning stages’ of plan to relocate US Israeli embassy to Jerusalem, White House confirms
http://www.independent.co.uk/new…
The White House has confirmed that Donald Trump's team is in the "beginning stages" of a plan to move the US embassy in Israel from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv.
Mr Trump said repeatedly during the election campaign that he intended to relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem, despite warnings the move would violate international law and destroy the peace process.
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”.
