Obama’s Change of Stance on Jerusalem

In a move consistent with his previous positions, USA President Barack Obama is apparently trying to distance the USA from Israel a little bit more:

Obama suspends moving embassy to Jerusalem

Jerusalem Dispatch – June 3, 2010

US President Barack Obama on Wednesday announced his decision to suspend for six months the process of moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In a memorandum to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Obama said the decision was “necessary, in order to protect the national security interests of the United States.”

“You are hereby authorized and directed to transmit this determination to the Congress…This suspension shall take effect after transmission of this determination and report to the Congress,” Obama said.

Former US presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush routinely issued similar memos. Obama followed in their footsteps in in June and December of 2009, but in the December memo he axed a key sentence, which, according to speculation, signaled a shift in Washington’s stance on the status of the capital…

Nearly identical memos have been signed every six months for the past decade, with sentences such as, “My administration remains committed to the process of moving our embassy to Jerusalem.” Yet in December the Obama team left that sentence out.

So, his Administration is apparently NOT committed to moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. This move is of no surprise as President Obama has taken many steps to attempt to appease the opponents of Israel in the Middle East. While he believes he means well, he needs our prayers.
