Pence vows embassy move to Jerusalem next year
Vice President Mike Pence told the Israeli Knesset that the United States will open its embassy in Jerusalem before the end of next year, speeding up the plan previously outlined by the State Department. He said the move reflects recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and will retrofit the U S Consulate in Arnona to serve as the embassy, despite Arab opposition and security cost estimates. Pence's speech drew protests from Arab lawmakers and a standing ovation from Knesset members.
