Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain has categorically stated he will move the American embassy in Israeli from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem if he is elected president in November. Virtually every presidential candidate in the past several years has promised to do so but has postponed the move for "security" reasons.
A Congressional law mandates the move but includes allows the president to exercise a clause every six months to postpone the move for six months if there is a fear that it would harm American interests.
Reporters pressed Sen. McCain on when he would move the embassy, but he restricted his answer to saying that he always was committed to moving the embassy to Jerusalem.
