As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faced snowballing corruption allegations
at home, President Trump said, during the Israeli official's visit to
Washington, that the relationship between the two nations is better than ever.
Trump said he is considering attending the mid-May opening of
the controversial U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.
Moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv is controversial
because Palestinians also consider Jerusalem their capital. Indeed, as NPR's
Jerusalem-based correspondent Daniel Estrin reported, Palestinian political
leadership are currently boycotting the Trump administration because of the
embassy decision.
