Jeb Bush urges moving Israel embassy to Qods

Likely GOP 2016 presidential candidate Jeb Bush called Saturday for the U.S. embassy in Israel to be moved from Tel Aviv to the occupied Palestinian city of al-Qods ('Jerusalem') as a political statement, according to a CNN report.

"I support that, absolutely," Bush said, responding to a question about whether the city should be Israel's capital "forever."

"I also support moving the embassy to Jerusalem as well -- our embassy. Not just as a symbol but a show of solidarity," he added, speaking to reporters in Nashville before the Tennessee GOP's Statesmen's Dinner.
