Trump to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, forge ahead with moving US Embassy

President Trump on Wednesday will order the State Department to begin moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, senior administration officials said, a move that fulfills a campaign promise made to religious conservatives but one that could inflame tensions across the Middle East.

In his announcement, Trump will say that the U.S. government recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. One official described it as an "honest" acknowledgement of a "seven-decade old fact."

“While President Trump recognizes that the status of Jerusalem is a highly sensitive issue, he does not think it will be resolved by ignoring the simple truth that Jerusalem is home to Israel’s legislature, its Supreme Court, the prime minister and is such the capital of Israel,” one official said.

The U.S. would be the first country to move its embassy to Jerusalem, which is claimed by both Israelis and Palestinians. Other countries who have diplomatic relations with Israel keep their embassies in Tel Aviv.

TRUMP = DECISIVE, SMART & FEARLESS

And that’s a good combination of attributes for a leader to have.

And Russia is “saving Christianity” in Syria...restoring churches and things. - Is this in prophecy as well? Can you please tell me the ones you are referring to regarding Trump’s decision on Jerusalem?

Yes, do it. And cut off all funding to the UN and PLA. And cut trade with any country that funds UN, PLA or boycotts Israel.

Praying this is true,

Those disgusting globalists anti-Christ NWO bushes all pretended they would do it and blatantly lied about it, let there be wailing and gnashing of teeth,

Prayers for President Donald Trump and all those loyal to him in his Administration,
