Trump to Decide Whether to Recognize Jerusalem as Israel's Capital
------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump is expected to decide today whether the U.S. will
recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital city-and whether the the U.S.
will move its embassy there from Tel Aviv. Trump's planned announcement
comes after senior adviser Jared Kushner told the Saban Forum in
Washington, D.C., that Trump had not yet made a decision. Israel has
occupied East Jerusalem since 1967, and Palestinian leaders have
condemned any plans by the U.S. to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's
capital.
