| 2017-01-23 |
| [Independent] The White House will on Monday announce that the US embassy in Israel is to move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, according to an unconfirmed report by an Israeli news outlet. Channel 2 cited an anonymous source as saying a member of the Trump administration would announce the highly controversial move on the President’s first full working day in office. The news channel said it had received no confirmation of the claim and there has been no public statement on the move since Friday's inauguration of the new US President. |

| #2 A bit more info here. For example, how many know there is a decades-old law that will require Trump to make some kind of decision by the end of May. Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act in 1995 to relocate the embassy to Jerusalem. Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, George W. Bush, and W.J. Clinton have all favored moving the embassy to Jerusalem. |
