Trump Aide: Moving US Embassy to ’Jerusalem’ a ‘Very Big Priority’

Local Editor

Kellyanne Conway, senior adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, said Monday that moving the United Stated embassy in the "Israeli"-occupied territories from Tel Aviv to the country's occupied capital city - al-Quds/Jerusalem - will be a top priority for the Trump administration.

Conway explained to conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt that not only did Trump make it clear that would be a goal of his as president before the election, but he has talked about it several times since being elected president.

"That is very big priority for this president-elect, Donald Trump," she said. "He made it very clear during the campaign, Hugh, and as president-elect I've heard him repeat it several times privately, if not publicly."

Most nations do not have their "Israeli" embassies in the occupied city of al-Quds. Rather, most countries currently have their embassies in or around the city of Tel Aviv, as most countries still do not recognize al-Quds as the Zionist capital.

Relatively, the Zionist entity declared al-Quds to be their capital city in 1949 after Britain finally left the area. Still, much of the land in Eastern al-Quds, including many holy sites, remains under contention between the "Israeli" apartheid regime and the Palestinians.

Many past US presidents, including Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, expressed a desire to move the American embassy to al-Quds, but never quite followed through on their promises - something Conway said she doesn't quite understand.

"It is something that our friend in "Israel", a great friend in the Middle East, would appreciate and something that a lot of Jewish-Americans have expressed their preference for," she told Hewitt. "It is a great move. It is an easy move to do based on how much he talked about that in the debates and in the sound bites."

While the Trump transition team has high praise for the Zionist entity, "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made clear on Sunday that the praise goes both ways.

During an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday, Netanyahu said that he knows Trump "very well" and has high hopes of a very close and successful relationship with the US under Trump's administration - something he hasn't had under President Barack Obama.
