Pence says Trump considering moving U.S. Embassy in Israel

Vice President Pence said Tuesday that President Trump is “actively considering when and how” to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a decision fiercely opposed by Palestinians.

Pence spoke at an event in New York City to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the United Nations vote that led to the founding of Israel.

In June, Trump backed off a campaign pledge on the move as his Mideast envoy sought to reinvigorate talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
