President Trump signed the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 six-month waiver, which continues to delay the move of the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. So, the question is when will the President fulfill his promise to move the Embassy?

For nearly 70 years, the U.S. Embassy has been based in Tel Aviv. When Jerusalem was unified under control of Israel in 1967, the Embassy should have been moved to the capital. On October 23, 1995, Congress passed the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and requiring the U.S. Embassy to be moved there by May 31, 1999. Yet every president since 1995, including now Donald Trump, has signed the waiver enabling them to certify, every six months, to leave the Embassy in Tel Aviv, as stipulated in the Jerusalem Embassy Act.

Obama signed his final waiver of the Jerusalem Embassy Act on December 1, 2016. President Trump’s deadline to sign the waiver was midnight tonight. He has now signed that waiver.

 Press Secretary Sean Spicer insisted that President Trump has not waivered on his pledge to move the Embassy, saying it is “not a matter of if, but when.”
