Tillerson praises Trump 'bold move' on Jerusalem

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Wednesday that President Donald Trump made a "bold move" by implementing a US law that has long called for the American Embassy in Israel to move to Jerusalem.

 

Tillerson said planning for a Jerusalem embassy will start immediately—and that includes picking a site. But he noted building the embassy will take time.

 

There's opposition in the Arab world to Trump's decision, and Tillerson said the State Department has taken necessary precautions to ensure the safety of US personnel in the region.
