Trump’s planned embassy move to Jerusalem backed by Israeli officials

‘Donald Trump’s apparent eagerness to fulfil his campaign pledge to switch the US embassy in Israel to Jerusalem has received the backing of local officials, who insist the move will be as easy as changing a sign on a building.
Mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barkat, said on Tuesday he is confident that Trump will deliver on his promise to relocate the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, telling AP he has already spoken to Trump’s team on the issue. “Naturally my intuition tells me that it’s different this time, knowing the people, hearing his statements, where we are today,” he said.
Both Barkat and his deputy, Meir Turgeman, say they have been contacted about finding a location for the embassy in Jerusalem. A building belonging to America already exists in the neighbourhood of Arnona, which was originally slated for the eventual US embassy. Jerusalem officials say all it will take is a change to the sign on the door.’
