Tensions triggered over possible move

US warned of 'consequences' if Israel policy is reversed

A possible move by the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the Israeli capital this week ignited regional debates over the impact the decision would have on peace efforts in the Middle East.

US President Donald Trump's adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner said on Sunday the president hasn't yet decided whether to make the move or if he will follow through with his plan to transfer the US embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
