US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that he will start preparing to transfer the US Embassy to Jerusalem "immediately" after President Trump announced that he ordered the State Department to begin planning the move.
Tillerson said in a statement that "We have consulted with many friends, partners, and allies in advance of the President making his decision. We firmly believe there is an opportunity for a lasting peace. The State Department will immediately begin the process to implement this decision by starting the preparations to move the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem".
