Trump renews waiver to keep U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv — for now

'President Trump renewed a waiver Thursday that keeps the U.S. Embassy to Israel in Tel Aviv, rather than moving it to Jerusalem as he had promised during the presidential campaign. '

'Congress passed a law in 1995 calling for the re-location of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, but presidents can avoid doing that by signing a waiver twice a year to keep the embassy in Tel Aviv. '

' Friedman said in a statement last year that he looked forward to serving in the post "from the U.S. Embassy in Israel’s eternal capital, Jerusalem.”'

'As a result, the United States and other countries maintain embassies in Tel Aviv, pending peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. '

'During his visit to the Middle East earlier in May, Trump declined to reaffirm support for relocating the embassy. '
