Two White House officials have told CNN that some of United States President Donald Trump’s closest advisers have pushed the president to act on his campaign pledge and relocate the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem, arguing that the president’s trip to Israel next week is the ideal time.
The same report cited senior US officials as opposing a declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. The White House may have a third option on the table, CNN reported, crafted by opponents of the embassy move to help the Trump administration save face after pledging to relocate the embassy.
