The Tel Aviv regime, however, has refused to return to the 1967 borders and is unwilling to discuss the issue of al-Quds. "But, as he has repeatedly stated his intention to move the embassy, the question is not if the move happens, but only when".
It says that despite the disappointment, Israel appreciates Trump's friendship and his commitment to moving the embassy to Jerusalem in the future.
"We will move the American Embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem", Trump said in a speech to Israel's advocacy group the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in March, 2016.

British prime minister May could lose majority in June 8 election
Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May's decision to call an early election might not have been in her favour after all. LibDem would get 10 seats while the SNP would get 50 seats.
Ambassador Dr. Husam Zomlot, the Palestinian representative to the United States, said the Trump policy "gives peace a chance".
But many expect that the long-awaited move will still occur and seem to give him the benefit of the doubt on the need to at least delay relocating the US mission to Jerusalem given the realities of peacemaking in the Middle East.
Trump had faced a Thursday deadline to determine how to proceed.
Trump had vowed during his presidential campaign that he would move the US Embassy to Jerusalem al-Quds, a step that would enrage Palestinians and create an worldwide furor. But the president can waive the law if asserting that a waiver is in USA national security interests. He's waived it for the next six months. However, the law allowed the president to sign six-month waivers if it did not serve the national interest to move the embassy.
Known to Jews as the Temple Mount, the mosque compound is one of the most sensitive flashpoints of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and is the scene of frequent disturbances. But the president pleased many in Mr. Netanyahu's right-leaning coalition by abandoning automatic support for a Palestinian state unless both sides agree.
Trump says "no" to the Paris Agreement
And Lloyd Blankfein, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, sent a tweet about the issue that was unremarkable in its wording. Most important, the EPA's Clean Power Plan was the primary driver of USA greenhouse gas emission reductions.
Leaving the president's pro-Israel rhetoric aside (he has promised to restore the "unshakeable bond" between the two nations), actual USA policy on the Jewish state remains unchanged from the Obama administration.
Palestinian sources reportedly conceded that Trump blasted Abbas for his incitement to terror, notwithstanding PA claims to the contrary.
When the United Nations officially recognized the State of Israel in 1947, it also sought to designate Jerusalem "corpus separatum", or an global protectorate, apart from the Arab and Jewish states being created between the Jordan River to the east and the Mediterranean to the west.
Israel considers Jerusalem its capital, but the Palestinians claim east Jerusalem for the capital of a future state.
Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama all signed the waivers.

However, Lynton Crosby and his business partner Mark Textor are now "tactically in charge", the CCHQ insider told POLITICO . In the figure we can see that polls are the dominant predictor on each day.
"As someone who believes that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel, I am deeply disappointed in President Trump's decision", Schumer declared. The longstanding USA position is that Jerusalem's fate must be worked out through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
