MIKE PENCE/UN: “Vice President Mike Pence said the White House is actively considering when and how to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a campaign promise the Trump administration has so far put on hold.
Mr. Pence, speaking Tuesday [11-28-17] at a commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the United Nations vote to recognize Israel, didn’t specify when the embassy relocation might occur, but said President Donald Trump favors the move…
Mr. Trump vowed to relocate the embassy while campaigning for president, but in June became the latest U.S. leader to waive the provisions of a 1995 law requiring the U.S. Embassy be moved to Jerusalem.
The White House said at the time that the waiver, which postponed such a move for six months, would aid chances for an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord. Mr. Trump reiterated that position in an interview last month on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. He faces another waiver decision Friday.”
