Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Jordan’s King Abdullah II received phone calls from Mr. Trump on Tuesday outlining his intention to move the embassy, according to statements from both their offices. The U.S. leader also informed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, a spokesman for the Arab leader said.

Mr. Abbas’s office said he would “continue his contacts with…world leaders to prevent such unacceptable action.”

Israel has administered East Jerusalem since 1967, when it won control of that half of the city in the Six Day War. Nearly all Israeli government buildings are based in Jerusalem.

Palestinians consider East Jerusalem the capital of a future state. The international community doesn’t recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, conducting diplomacy from 87 embassies in Tel Aviv, about 45 miles away.

Mr. Trump is moving ahead with the announcement despite a barrage of diplomatic pressure from Arab, Palestinian and European leaders who have argued that decisions over the highly sensitive issue of the status of Jerusalem should be made in negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.

Because of Jerusalem’s disputed status, Mr. Trump now risks derailing a Middle East peace effort that the White House had been working on and could damage strong ties his U.S. administration has nurtured with Arab states, foreign officials say.

Mr. Trump also phoned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday to discuss the matter with him, according to U.S. officials. A spokesman in Mr. Netanyahu’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Israeli officials have said they would welcome the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem and acknowledgment of the city as Israel’s capital.

Under a U.S. law passed in 1995, the president must sign a waiver every six months postponing the embassy move or else trigger steep funding cuts for State Department facilities.

Since the law was passed in 1995, Democratic and Republican presidents have repeatedly opted not to move the embassy, citing national security concerns.

Diplomats and analysts expressed concern that moving the embassy could endanger prospects for a peace accord because of Jerusalem’s disputed status.

After promising to move the embassy on the campaign trail, Mr. Trump signed the waiver in June but this week hasn’t communicated whether he again signed the document, allowing the six-month deadline to pass.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan joined a chorus of opposition on Tuesday, warning that his government would sever ties with Israel if the U.S. went ahead with the potential embassy move.

Saudi Arabia also warned that the U.S. move would be “a significant breach of the principle of non-influence on the final solution negotiations.”

Jews declared an Israeli state on part of the land known before as British Mandate of Palestine in 1948, and Israel and Arabs from Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Palestine then fought a war over the land. At the end of the fighting in 1949, the armistice carved Jerusalem into two halves, with Israelis in the west and Arabs in the east. – source
