(Jerusalem) — A U.S. delegation is in Jerusalem ahead of tomorrow’s opening ceremony of the American embassy in Jerusalem. The group is headed by deputy secretary of state John Sullivan and includes President Trump’s daughter Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin [[ mih-NEW-chin ]] and several members of Congress. Events begin tonight and are being boycotted by several ambassadors from the European Union and other nations opposed to the move. The move was a campaign promise by President Trump, who ordered the embassy to move from Tel Aviv. Palestinians continue to protest the move over their demands that the status of Jerusalem as a capital be negotiated in any peace settlement with Israel.
