DONALD TRUMP’S shock election victory has caused suspense and concern in the United States, around the world and even in Israel. Four years of uncertainty await with regard to the policies and insights of the president-elect and his team. Into that volatile mix comes the possibility that Trump will decide within the coming weeks to move the American Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
One of Trump’s first nominations was that of David Friedman, a Jewish bankruptcy lawyer who has worked with the president- elect for the past 15 years, as the next Ambassador of the US to Israel. Friedman, like others in the Trump camp, has said repeatedly that the President-elect is committed to moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem as soon as possible.
