'TRUMP TO FORGE AHEAD WITH JERUSALEM EMBASSY MOVE DESPITE OPPOSITION': The incoming Trump administration plans to move ahead with its plans to move the USA embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem regardless of criticism from Arab nations, media sources reported on 9 Jan. 2017. USA President-elect Donald Trump's team has reportedly informed regional allies of the plans. Unnamed Israeli officials have speculated that the move could be announced as early as 24 May 2017, on the Israeli holiday "Jerusalem Day" that marks the reunification of the capital in the 1967 Six Day War. The report emerged after Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas sent a letter to Trump urging him not to relocate his country’s embassy in Israel when he assumes office “as it will have destructive consequences on the peace process, the two state solution and the safety and security of the region.” In addition, USA Secretary of State John Kerry said last week that relocating the embassy would cause “an explosion, an absolute explosion, not just in Israel, but throughout the region.” PM Benjamin Netanyahu told a group of reporters on a state visit to Azerbaijan last month that Trump’s plan to relocate the embassy is “great.” (J.Post) “The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, ‘Rule in the midst of your enemies!’” Ps 110:2
