(Times of Israel) Raphael Ahren - The U.S. Congress in 1995 decided to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and transfer the embassy and the ambassador's residence from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Every six months since then, the president has signed a waver suspending the decision, and President Obama is expected to do so again in about three weeks. If Trump decides to break with tradition, he could simply not sign the presidential waiver. Former Israeli national security adviser Maj.-Gen. (res.) Yaakov Amidror said this week that such a decision "will not change anything fundamentally on the ground, but it would be very important symbolically." Ilan Goldenberg, director of the Middle East Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, said, "It would be a huge problem for the Palestinians, but the rest of the Arab world doesn't really care about this; they have other worries right now." 2016-11-17 00:00:00Full Article
