This will be one of the most urgent discussions we could have. Following the amazing demonstrations across the planet after the inauguration of President Trump, one of the most feared factors connected to his presidency is the question of his promised move of the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade will notice that all the international diplomats clued into this in any way are warning of a major provocation in the region and that moving the American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem will provoke a violent reaction in the area. Moreover, the European Union and United Nations have condemned it. Has the Minister condemned it or will he do so? What has he said or done about this highly provocative move?
