While President Trump signed the waiver under the Jerusalem Embassy Act and
delayed moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, no
one should consider this step
to be in any way a retreat from the President's strong support for
Israel and for the United States-Israel alliance. President Trump made
this decision to maximize the chances of successfully negotiating a deal
between Israel and the Palestinians, fulfilling
his solemn obligation to defend America's national security interests.
But, as he has repeatedly stated his intention to move the embassy, the
question is not if that move happens, but only when.
