The Israeli ambassador to the United States is urging the incoming Trump administration to move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
Trump and his nominee for U.S. ambassador to Israel have pledged to move the embassy. But previous Republican presidents have made that promise without following through.
Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer says it would be a “great step forward” for peace. He tells a Chanukah reception at the Israeli embassy in Washington that it would send a “strong message against delegitimization of Israel.”
The U.S. and nearly every other country have their embassies in Tel Aviv.

It should be moved to east Jerusalem
West Jerusalem is a better locale!
#1 Fantastic idea.
I have no evidence in support of this, but I believe the US embassy in Israel will stay where it is. Trump promises the moon, but delivers green cheese.
#4 “Trump promises the moon, but delivers green cheese.” When did he become President? You’re mixing the name, ma’am, you meant Obama.
Whether you like Trump or not, you cannot deny what he has accomplished in this very short period when he’s not even President is truly remarkable.
