Trump says won't move US embassy to Jerusalem al-Quds for now

"I want to give that a shot before I even think about moving the embassy to Jerusalem," Trump told former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee on the TBN program "Huckabee.""If we can make peace between the Palestinians and Israel, I think it'll lead to ultimately peace in the Middle East, which has to happen," hThe organization emphasized the potential relocation would deliver a death blow to any prospects of the resolution of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and fuel extremism in the region. Washington has already suggested that it would no longer insist on the so-called two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which envisages the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.Since Trump's inauguration in January, Tel Aviv has increasingly become emboldened in its expansionist plans for Jerusalem al-Quds.Israel lays claim to the entirety of Jerusalem al-Quds as its capital while Palestinians want its eastern part as the capital of their future state.The Israeli regime has attempted to change the demographic buildup of al-Quds over the past decades by constructing settlements, destroying historical sites and expelling the local Palestinian population.

e said.Asked about the time of a possible embassy move, the president said, "We're going to make a decision in the not too distant future."During his 2016 campaign, Trump came up with the controversial proposal that caused a lot of discussions.Palestinians oppose the move and have repeatedly warned Trump against such an action. Also, the Palestine Liberation Organization warned the US against the relocation of the embassy.
