Whether you agree that it was the correct thing to do, EVERY president before Trump kept the embassy in Tel Aviv. This even years after Congress voted for the embassy to be moved. You likely know that it was thought both Israel and Palestine would eventually have there capital in Jerusalem. ( The Palestinian one was to be in East Jerusalem.)
