Trump backtracks on vow to move embassy from tel Aviv

Senior US sources said US President Donald Trump has already decided to extend the order which prevents the US Embassy in Israel from being transferred from Tel Aviv to the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem').

A US source said Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has already been informed of Trump's decision, according to Arutz Sheva.

Recently, both governments agreed that this would not be the best time to move the Embassy, and US officials said Israel did not want to deal with the matter at present and had requested Trump delay the move.

The next US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, apparently received the news before it was told to Israel.
