OFFICIAL: Trump not moving embassy to Jerusalem

It’s official. Trump is not moving the embassy to Jerusalem in order to appease Arab Muslims.

BLOOMBERG – President Donald Trump has decided not to immediately move the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a senior White House official said, violating a campaign promise but avoiding a provocation that could drive Palestinians away from peace talks.

The official said the administration considers its discussions with both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority to be promising, with the Palestinians in particular agreeing to talk without preconditions. The official asked not to be identified because of the sensitivity of the matter.

“We don’t think it would be wise to do it at this time,” the official said. “We’ve been very clear what our position is and what we would like to see done, but we’re not looking to provoke anyone when everyone’s playing really nice.”

As president, Trump has said he’d like to try to broker a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians, calling it “the ultimate deal.” He sent an envoy, Jason Greenblatt, to the region in March to open talks, and Trump has met with both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas at the White House.

It looks like Trump is letting his EGO trump the promises he made on the campaign trail:

Empty promises.

At this point Trump has virtually become Obama on this issue, acting as though a true peace agreement can be achieved between Israel and their terrorist neighbors.
