Kerry, Abbas warn of an 'explosion' of violence with Jerusalem embassy move

You’d have an explosion, an absolute explosion in the region, not just in the West Bank and perhaps even in Israel itself, but throughout the region,” Kerry warned.

“The Arab world has enormous interest in the Haram al-Sharif, as it is called, the Temple Mount, the Dome [of the Rock], and it is a holy site for the Arab world.”

It would be a blunder if his goal is to cut wars spending abroad and spend more at home, he probaby would avoid such a step in the end.
The 1995 Act was passed before 9/11 and would not have same support in Congress in the post 9/11/Iraq war/Barack Hussein Obama world

US allies point out that if the embassy move takes place, it will matter where exactly it goes. West Jerusalem would be less problematic than if it's placed in East Jerusalem, which Palestinians could see as an annexation by Israel.

"If it's moved into East Jerusalem, the Palestinians would certainly view it as a provocative move," said another European diplomat.

The Trump team has offered no specifics on when or where the embassy would move, but Trump has said he'd like it to happen soon.

The 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Act calls on the US to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and relocate the embassy there. But the law allows for the move to be waived if the President deems it harmful to US national security interests.

they fear the move will lead to security problems for US diplomatic missions and troops throughout the Middle East, create friction in US relationships with countries across the region, and cause even deeper rifts between Israelis and Palestinians.
With the six-month extension signed by Obama expiring on June 1, Israeli sources have suggested the May 24 Israeli holiday Jerusalem Day as a possible date for relocating the embassy. That national holiday commemorates the reunification of Jerusalem and the establishment of Israeli control over the Old City following the June 1967 Six Day War and typically is marked by ceremonies and memorial services.
But the extension could give the incoming administration time to rethink the consequences of its decision and find a face-saving way to back out. Diplomats suggested once the administration is in office for a few months, the realities of chaos in the Middle East and the need not to alienate US Arab allies may cause a newly minted President Trump to sing a different tune.

Last month, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman played down the crucial nature of immediately relocating the embassy.
"We've seen this promise (from US presidential candidates) in every election," Lieberman noted during remarks at the Saban Forum.


Now the envoy to Israel expecting an embassy in Jerusalem doesn't look so stupid.

Him being proven right in his expectation on this and looking stupid are not mutually exclusive though.

I dunno what this means ultimately - The Holy City has not really been a target for anybody before.
Isn't Tel Aviv really the front lines ?
 
Early speculation is not always right.

Huh?
 
Trump is just another puppet of the Israel lobby. Who's up for some proxy wars?! Are we great again yet?!
 
Anytime soon...

Okay.

Any real reasons for moving it in the first place? Is their lease up or something? Does the DSL suck? Crazy common area fees? Trying to help God with something?

Serious question, I may have completely missed the answer. I didn't know about La Macerana until two+ years later -it happens.
