Seems to me that moving the embassy would be perfectly in keeping with Trump's "unpredictability" doctrine. Besides, how does taking the Arab side indicate neutrality?
I hate to break this to you, but for now the capital's status IS tentative.
See posts #32 AND answering post #33, again.
Furthermore, the ONLY parallel between Germany and Israel is the former division of the capital. Both have been reunited, albeit under radically different circumstances, and validity of claim. Maintaining the pretense of indecision serves ONLY the Arab interest.
Delaying a move is not “taking the Arab side” here. The only compelling case for moving the embassy involves internal Israeli politics. As far as the U.S. is concerned, the location of our embassy in ANY country shouldn’t even rank among the top 200 priorities for “Making America Great Again.”
It is when it's taken THIS long.

Yet Trump saw fit to make it a campaign promise, and it was WELL received, so again your point is moot.
