The US will open its new Israeli embassy in Jerusalem in May, officials said Friday — marking a move from Tel Aviv that reverses decades of American policy and infuriates Palestinians.
The move comes earlier than expected after Vice President Mike Pence told the Israeli Parliament last month the relocation would take place by the end of 2019.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on Thursday signed off on the security plan for the new embassy.
“In May, the United States plans to open a new US Embassy in Jerusalem,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said. “The opening will coincide with Israel’s 70 anniversary.”
