US President Donald Trump will take advantage of the right of veto and decide on freezing the process of transferring the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. This is reported 9 channel with reference to NRG.

This right the head of the White House has, according to the "Law of Jerusalem", adopted in the United States in 1995. The law recognizes Jerusalem as the single and indivisible capital of Israel. The law prescribes that the US Embassy must move to Jerusalem no later than May 1999.

According to the law, the US president makes a decision every six months on whether to extend the veto. If the veto is not renewed, the law will enter into force on automatic grounds.

The last time the right of veto was used by Barack Obama, this happened in October 2016.

The publication emphasizes that Washington notified Jerusalem of the intentions of the US president to veto.

As we reported earlier, the promise to transfer the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was one of the cornerstones in the pre-election program of Donald Trump.

In January 2017, the representative of the US Republican Party in Israel, Mark Goal, stated that the beginning of the procedure for the transfer of the Embassy of the United States of America to Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem depends only on the desire of the Cabinet of Ministers Benjamin Netanyahu.
