Jerusalem Mayor Says Trump 'Serious' About Embassy Move

The mayor of Jerusalem says the Trump administration
 is "serious" and committed to moving the American 
Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Nir Barkat says that from conversations he's had with
 those in the new U.S. administration, he knows
 "they are serious about their intentions."

He also told Army Radio on Monday that "an embassy
 cannot be moved in one day" — indicating that if and 
when it goes ahead, the move will take time.

Washington maintains its embassy in Tel Aviv as do 
other countries, insisting that conflicting claims to 
Jerusalem must be worked out in negotiations.

The Palestinians have warned against moving the embassy 
— A highly symbolic and politically charged act.

The White House on Sunday said relocation discussions 
are only at the "very beginning" stages.
