The Trump administration is disputing Israeli media reports claiming that the president is no longer committed to moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which candidate Donald Trump vowed to do while campaigning for the presidency, according to U.S. officials familiar with the situation.
Reports emerged in Israeli media late Tuesday claiming that Trump was about to walk back one of his campaign promises: Relocating the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, a move that officially would recognize the ancient city as Israel’s capital.
Trump administration sources confirmed to the Free Beacon that the embassy move is still under consideration, but that the process is in its infant stages.
The administration continues to review the policy, which has caused an increasing level of frustration among pro-Israel Trump supporters who had hoped the process would be carried out more quickly. Read more at Free Beacon.

Baloney. Just like the firing of Comey. If Trump truly wanted the Embassy moved to Jerusalem, he could have it done before Shabbos already. “Still considering”. What the hell does that mean?
Still considering means he’s still considering. I would expect his upcoming trip will be a good opportunity to announce the move. Wait for it.
Actually he could not. a 6 month waiver was signed in December by Obama. When that waiver runs about, by law the US is supposed to move the embassy to jerusalem, unless the president resigns the waiver, which ever president has done for the last 20 years.
