According to the New York Times, Trump made the comment to reporters at the White House. The embassy is expected to open on May 14 at a provisional site until a more permanent location is built.

 

Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News in an interview that he would "love" to have the U.S. president attend.

 

Trump last month suggested he might help open the embassy, strengthened his bond with Netanyahu.

 

Recently, Israeli news outlets have said that Trump's daughter Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner, also Trump's senior adviser, are expected to attend the opening of the new US embassy in Occupied Jerusalem.

 

Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy to Occupied Jerusalem has outraged Palestinians and sparked criticism from around the world.
