Thanks to Ali Hoppe on the G+ Community United We Stand One Nation Under God,
I have found out that the U.S, Ambassador to Israel - David Friedman - is
publicly taking the stand that U.S. Embassy will be moved from Tel Aviv to the
Eternal Capital of the Land of Israel is just a matter of when.
Since the Ambassador supposed to represent the agenda of the
U.S. government, it warms my heart that President Trump has not given up on
this campaign promise that has actually been mandated by the U.S. Congress.

U.S. Amb. to Israel: Trump Will Absolutely Move Embassy
to Jerusalem
'It's not if, but when'

U.S. Ambassador to Israel
David Friedman said the Trump administration will move the American embassy in
the country to Jerusalem, saying it is not a matter of "if, but
when," according to remarks offered in a new interview.
President Donald Trump
promised early on in his campaign for office that he would finally move the
U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which Israel considers its capital.
The issue has been shrouded
in controversy since it is longstanding U.S. policy not to recognize Jerusalem
as Israel's capital so as not to prejudge the outcome of peace negotiations
with the Palestinians.
Trump has promised to move
the embassy as one of his first declarations in office, but that was derailed
following opposition by the State Department and a renewed push to get the
Israelis and Palestinians back to the negotiating table.
While Trump administration
officials have said the embassy move is still being reviewed, Friedman told
Erick Stakelbeck, director of Christians United for Israel's Watchman
Project, in an exclusive interview that the U.S. embassy is certain to be relocated
during Trump's tenure in office.
"The embassy will move.
It's not if, but when," Friedman told Stakelbeck in an interview set to be
broadcast on the TBN network. "I am convinced that during his term, the
United States will recognize Jerusalem as the undivided and eternal capital of
Israel."

About Washington Free Beacon
"How stands the city
on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was
eight years ago. But more than that: After 200 years, two centuries, she still
stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no
matter what storm. And she's still a beacon, still a magnet for all who must
have freedom, for all the pilgrims from all the lost places who are hurtling
through the darkness, toward home."
—Ronald Reagan,
