CNN Reports Israel Ambassador Backs U.S. Embassy Move to Jerusalem

EXCERPT:

LIEBERMANN: "Hi, Carol. Well, Ron Dermer is considered one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's closest confidants. So this, as you said, is a very high level endorsement from Netanyahu's inner circle. It would also be a break with decades of U.S. foreign policy, which has held that the final status of the city of Jerusalem would be left to negotiation between Israelis and Palestinians. Now, a law has been on the U.S. books since 1995 saying the U.S. has to move the embassy to Jerusalem, but every president since then, three different presidents, has waived that every six months citing national security reasons. Trump has said repeatedly during his campaign that he would move the embassy as soon as he came into office, as has his pick for ambassador to Israel, David Friedman. What has Netanyahu said about this? Well, last night when he spoke, he was much more vague about a Trump presidency, but certainly optimistic."
