Obama: US Embassy to stay in TA due to national security interests
Following the practice of his predecessors, President Barack Obama has invoked US national security interests to notify Congress he will not move the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
The notification is necessary under a 1995 law that authorized the embassy's relocation but left the decision to presidents. Bill Clinton and George Bush submitted similar notifications to Congress. Under the law, such declarations must be made every six months. Obama also issued them during the first two years of his administration. (AP)
