Varje år har amerikas president, sedan beslutet fattades, skjutit upp beslutet att flytta ambassaden från Tel Aviv till Jerusalem, ett år.
There’s reason to believe Mr. Obama doesn’t recognize Jerusalem asIsrael’s capital. In June 2009, Mr. Obama issued Presidential Determination 2009-19, “Suspension of Limitations Under the Jerusalem Embassy Act,” a legally required waiver to continue to delay the May 31, 1999, deadline for moving the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Presidents have issued this determination twice a year ever since, but Mr. Obama deleted a passage that appeared in previous declarations stating the United States “remains committed to beginning the process of moving our embassy to Jerusalem.” It would be a mark of good faith for Congress to close the loopholes in sections 3(b) and 7(b) of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 to test whether Mr. Obama really believes what he pledged three years ago.
Den karln har simpelt dragit ett tjockt streck över beslutet i Kongressen att flytta ambassaden till huvudstaden, helt av illvilja. Och han kallar sig "vän av Israel".....
