Moving the U.S. embassy to the occupied Quds 1

The Zionists claim that the relocation of U.S. embassy from  Tel Aviv to al-Quds is a symbolic  move. Observers however, believe that the move is part of a strategic plan to present the holy city and the Muslims with fait accompli.


In October 23, 1995 U.S. Congress passed the "Jerusalem Embassy Act". It stressed that the relocation of the U.S. embassy should be established in al-Quds no later than May 31, 1999. However, the act allowed the U.S. President to invoke a six-month waiver of the application of the law, and reissue the waiver every six months on "national security" grounds.


Though all U.S. presidents vowed during their presidential campaigns to move the American embassy to al-Quds, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama regularly signed executive orders postponing the move.


Moving the U.S. embassy to the occupied Quds: 

Over the past 70 years and before the establishment of the "state of Israel", the official policy of the United States regarding al-Quds was based on the city's holiness in the divine religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam and the international consensus regarding the inalienable rights of these religions in the city.


On December 6, 2017 U.S. President Donald Trump announced both eastern and western parts of al-Quds as Israel's capital. On May 14, 2018 he inaugurated the makeshift embassy in the small building of the U.S. consulate in the city.
