Jerusalem embassy move a ‘big priority’ for Trump

Posted

Moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem “is a very big priority for President-elect Donald Trump,” his campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said on Monday.

“He made that very clear during the campaign,” she said. “And as president-elect, I’ve heard him repeat it several times privately, if not publicly.”

She added: “It’s something that our friends in Israel, our great friend in the Middle East, Israel, would appreciate,” she said.

“It’s something that a lot of Jewish Americans also have expressed their preference for.”
