Shock As President Trump In Israel Blows Off Promise To Move Embassy To Jerusalem Saying ‘That’s A Good One’

Out of all the comments he could have said, that is the one comment,
that in my mind, comes as close to "I've decided not to keep my campaign
promise to move the embassy" as you can possibly get. True, you never
know what Trump will do as we witnessed in the Comey firing, but as far
as ominous signs go, this one bodes not well.

Shortly
after landing in Ben Gurion Airport Monday afternoon, President Trump
shook hands with members of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s cabinet.

“And in that day will I make Jerusalem
a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it
shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered
together against it.” Zechariah 12:3 (KJV)

While most cabinet members
made do with a simple “Hello, Mr. President”, “Welcome to Israel”, or
other pleasantries, Bennett took the opportunity to make a personal, if
brief, appeal to the president to make good on his 2016 campaign promise
to recognize Jerusalem as the united capital of Israel.

“Welcome
to Israel. It’s Jerusalem’s birthday, you know – 50 years,” Bennett
told the president. “This is the time to recognize Jerusalem.”

Trump responded to Bennett saying, “That’s a good one…” before moving on. You can read the rest of the story here on the  IsraeliNationalNews.com website.

Hmm, interesting comment for the president to make,
“that’s a good one”. Out of all the comments he could have said, that
is the one comment, that in my mind, comes as close to “I’ve decided not
to keep my campaign promise to move the embassy” as you can possibly
get. True, you never know what Trump will do as we witnessed in the
Comey firing, but as far as ominous signs go, this one bodes not well.

It is a far cry from his oft-repeated campaign promise to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem and recognize the same as the capital city of Israel, as we see here below:

Not only that,
not once during his two day stay in the Holy Land have I heard
President Trump utter a single sentence of support for Jerusalem as
being the capital of Israel. If you have a link to a story or video
showing him vocalizing support for Jerusalem and Israel, please post it
in the comments section below.

The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995

For those of you who don’t know The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995
was sponsored by Sen. Bob Dole, signed into law by then-president Bill
Clinton, and became enacted on November 8, 1995. The act stipulates that
Jerusalem “should remain an undivided city” and “should be recognized
as the capital of the State of Israel.”

The law further states
that the above should occur no later than May 31, 1999 – but adds the
famous “presidential waiver” clause allowing the president to suspend
the law’s implementation for six months “if he determines and reports to
Congress in advance that such suspension is necessary to protect the
national security interests of the United States.”

All three presidents since then – Clinton, Bush, and Obama – have availed themselves of this privilege, and the embassy has remained in Tel Aviv.
Donald Trump campaigned hard on the promise that he would be the
president who would finally buck the status quo and actually move the
Embassy to Jerusalem. And this is where things get interesting.

On June 1, the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 will automatically take effect unless President Trump moves to stop it

As of the time of this writing,
President Trump is physically in the nation of Israel, visiting
Jerusalem. Is it possible he will make the announcement to move the
Embassy to Jerusalem? Yes, it is possible though not likely probable. As
previously stated, he has yet to utter word one regarding Jerusalem as
the “undivided capital of Israel”.

But in exactly 9 days from today,
on June 1st, the move to finally authorize the switch to Jerusalem will
automatically be triggered. All Trump has to do is nothing, just let it
happen. This is something that all presidents over the past 22 years
did not have the guts to do. At the last second, they all signed the
waiver to delay it for another 6 months.

In exactly 9 days from today,
the world will know if Donald Trump is the true “agent of change” he
promised to be, by allowing the waiver stopping the Embassy transfer to
expire. But if he signs a new waiver, then you may rightly expect he
will never authorize the move of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to
Jerusalem.

If President Trump doesn’t fulfill the
very promise that allowed him to win against all odds, if America
refuses to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, then you would
have to ask a very serious and sobering question. And that very simply
is this.

What does God need America for anyway, and why should He
continue to preserve us, if we cannot acknowledge that Jerusalem is the
capital of Israel?
