CBS News: Pence: Trump is “actively considering” moving U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem

Vice President Mike Pence says President Trump is "actively considering" moving the United States' embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to its capital, Jerusalem.

"President Trump is actively considering when and how to move the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem," Pence said Tuesday afternoon while delivering a keynote address at an event celebrating the 70th anniversary of the United Nations' vote calling for Israel to exist as an independent state.

In June, Mr. Trump signed a waiver that delayed the embassy's relocation. The waiver is part of the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act, which called for moving the embassy to Jerusalem by 1999. However, the legislation establishes that the president, citing national security concerns, may delay the move by signing a waiver.
