White House says it is in the early stages of talks to fulfill US President Donald Trump's pledge to move the American embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a move opposed by the Palestinian leadership. <br/><br/>White House spokesman Sean Spicer said that we are at the very beginning stages of even discussing this subject. Trump reportedly spoke to hardline right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier in the day yesterday. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat welcomed the Trump administration's announcement. Palestinians and their leadership strongly opposed the move.<br/><br/>Earlier this month, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas reportedly wrote to Trump, who was president-elect at the time, telling him not to move the US embassy. Abbas warned that such a move would have a disastrous impact on the peace process, on the two-state solution and on the stability and security of the entire region.
