Well, it appears President Trump has caved to the advice of
the Swamp and (probably) the GOP Establishment to not move the U.S. Embassy
from Tel Aviv to Israel’s Capital City of Jerusalem.
The official reason is to pursue an impossible peace between
Arabs that call themselves Palestinians and the Jewish State of Israel.
President Trump is no dummy when it comes to deal making
with Palestinians those Islamic terrorists will never accept the existence of a
Jewish State, will always demand the unreasonable delusion of the return of the
descendants of Muslims who fled the original Arab invasion in 1948.
ALSO, from a Biblical perspective, a Palestinian Muslim
State on Jewish heritage will be a thorn in the side of Israel that I have no
doubt will result in an IDF invasion of their own Judea-Samaria land proposed
as a sovereign nation. Why an IDF invasion? The constant Islamic terrorism
against Jews that will continue under a Palestinian State who in turn reward
the families of Islamic terrorist perpetrators.
Considering this impossible peace, I sense a closer reason
for the President Trump cave-in had to do with Swamp Elitists, GOP
Establishment and foreign leader pressure against moving the U.S. Embassy to
Jerusalem.

Trump Won't Move US Embassy to
Jerusalem, but He Did Make This Promise
June 1, 2017
JERUSALEM, Israel – President Donald Trump decided today he
will not be moving the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
During his campaign, Trump promised to move the U.S. Embassy
to Jerusalem, thrilling Israelis and many pro-Israel Christian voters. But the
White House says he can't do it just yet.
"No one should consider this step to be in any way a
retreat from the President's strong support for Israel and for the United
States-Israel alliance," the White House said in a statement.
The statement makes clear the president made the decision
because he intends to push ahead with plans for peace negotiations between
Israel and the Palestinians.
"President Trump made this decision to maximize the
chances of successfully negotiating a deal between Israel and the Palestinians,
fulfilling his solemn obligation to defend America's national security
interests," the statement said.
"But, as he has repeatedly stated his intention to move
the embassy, the question is not if that move happens, but only when," it
continued.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
issued a statement expressing disappointment with the decision.
"Israel's consistent position is that the American
embassy, like the embassies of all countries with whom we have diplomatic
relations, should be in Jerusalem, our eternal capital. Maintaining
embassies outside the capital drives peace further away by helping keep alive
the Palestinian fantasy that the Jewish people and the Jewish state have no
connection to Jerusalem," the statement said.
"Though Israel is disappointed that the embassy will not move at this time, we appreciate today's expression of President Trump’s friendship to Israel and his commitment to moving the embassy in the future."
Many were hoping the president would announce his decision
to move the embassy during his recent visit. Now he has kicked the can down the
road like his predecessors, former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush,
Bill Clinton, and George H.W. Bush, postponing the decision for another six
months.
For more than two decades, the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act,
stipulating that the embassy be relocated to Jerusalem, has been pushed off.
The waiver is almost always justified on the basis of
further complicating the peace process between Israel and the Palestinian
Authority, which actively warns against such a move.
While Trump reportedly would like to fulfill his campaign
promise, he appears to have opted for postponement to avoid condemnation by
Arab nations and other Western allies.
At a Jerusalem Day event last week, Jerusalem Mayor Nir
Barkat said to President Trump, "…we
are grateful and say again that we want to see the transfer of the embassy to
Jerusalem."
