Bibi fighting Trump on Embassy move, vote that leftist out

[Israel Chai]

It would be normal and fitting for Trump to publicly attack Israel on this since it makes him look bad for not happening, but he held his tongue. For that alone, it would be ungrateful, which Hashem hates most, to not give him the benefit of the doubt if there's any question going forward.

Like there's a million stories about him being a con artist. I figured he was being a con artist when he said he'd do good things. He didn't con us, he's fighting, and the leftists are fighting him with vagina costumes in the street. It gives me such immense pressure to see leftists cry when he does good things, any righteous person can't help see Haman cry. We should support him and pressure him to take out Iran's nukes, which matters most now. Rabbi Mizrachi said that bit before in this lecture, and also said JTF lines like "no palestinian king" and other things only Kahanists and honest people will say.

Marc Zell, the co-chair of Republicans Overseas in Israel, suggested Saturday that recent foot-dragging by President Donald Trump's White House on moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is happening at Israel’s request.

Speaking to Haaretz and citing both Israeli and U.S. sources, Zell that “Trump has been unequivocally in favor of moving the embassy and remains so” but “he is proceeding cautiously because of concerns raised by Israeli officials.”

At the same time, Zell expressed confidence that the embassy move would eventually happen.

“Trump has repeatedly stated that his Administration will respect the wishes of the Israeli government and people on issues concerning the Land of Israel in general and Jerusalem in particular,” Zell told Haaretz.

“There is no better evidence of this than Washington's historic non-reaction last week to Israel's announcement that it will be constructing 2500 housing units in Judea and Samaria… I believe Israel will give the green light to the embassy move and when it does, the embassy will come to Jerusalem,” he added.

Moving the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and thus recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital was a central campaign promise of Trump’s.

Despite the campaign promises, however, things seem to have stalled with regard to the move. This week, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that no decision has been made yet on the subject.

The planned move of the embassy has angered the Palestinian Authority (PA), whose officials want eastern Jerusalem to be the capital of a Palestinian state.

Last week, a coalition of PA organizations including Hamas, Fatah and the Islamic Jihad, issued a statement warning against the embassy move, saying it would "ignite a fire in the region".

PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas recently promised a “political and diplomatic response” if Trump moves the embassy to Jerusalem. He did not elaborate.

Previously, Abbas wrote Trump a letter in which he warned him against moving the American embassy, saying that such a move would be crossing a "red line" and could jeopardize peace prospects.

Meanwhile, PA officials claimed this week that Trump had told the PA he would not move the embassy to Jerusalem and that all plans to do so had been frozen.

Trump himself would not discuss the subject in an interview on Fox News on Thursday night, saying that "I don't want to talk about it yet. It's too early."

It does not surprise me Bibi is blocking this.

What would surprise me is if he eventually allows it to go through.  But I think if he does, his only motivation is to be the American president's lapdog, and suffer whatever consequences.  NOT because he is a principled rightwinger and truly wants the embassy there.  Putting it there creates more obstacle for him in creating his (supposedly demilitarized, LOL) Fakestinian state

Israel's Netanyahu says US embassy should be in Jerusalem

ARON HELLER, Associated Press 8 hours ago
 
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the American embassy in Israel should be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, injecting himself once again into a charged campaign trail promise of U.S. President Donald Trump.

Netanyahu's comments at his weekly Cabinet meeting appeared aimed at countering reports that Israel was concerned about the fallout of such a move, which is vehemently opposed by the Palestinians and has sparked fears of a renewed outbreak of violence. It comes a day after Netanyahu unilaterally endorsed Trump's call to build a wall along the Mexican border, saying the Israeli model along its border with Egypt has proven successful.

"I would like to clarify unequivocally that our view has always been, and continues to be, that the United States' embassy should be here in Jerusalem," Netanyahu said. "Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and it is appropriate that not only the American embassy will be here but that all embassies will move here and I believe that in due course most will come here, to Jerusalem."

Currently, nearly all foreign embassies are located in the coastal city of Tel Aviv because their countries have refrained from recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital until its status is resolved in future peace talks. Israel has long called for the embassies to be relocated but hasn't pushed hard for it given the widespread international opposition.

But Trump's rise has emboldened Israel's nationalists. His campaign platform made no mention of a Palestinian state, a cornerstone of two decades of international diplomacy in the region, and he has signaled that he will be far more tolerant of Israeli settlement construction than his predecessors.
Both his designated ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, now a top aide and Mideast envoy, have deep ties to the settler movement. Friedman and Kushner's family foundation have both been generous contributors to the Beit El settlement, and a delegation of settler representatives was invited to Trump's inauguration.

The Palestinians want the West Bank and east Jerusalem — areas captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war — for their hoped-for state. Former President Barack Obama, like the rest of the international community, considered the building of settlements an obstacle to peace and frequently criticized their construction. But Trump did not comment when Israel announced a major housing drive last week.
