US Vice President Mike Pence says Washington is planning to relocate the
country’s embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds “by the
end” of 2019.
Pence made the announcement during an address to the Israeli Knesset
(parliament) on Monday, amid outrage over US President Donald Trump’s
globally condemned decision last month to recognize Jerusalem al-Quds as
the capital of the Israeli regime.
"Jerusalem [al-Quds] is Israel's capital, and as such President Trump
has directed the State Department to immediately begin preparations to
move the United States embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem [al-Quds],"
Pence said to prolonged applause from Israeli lawmakers.
