This isn’t confirmed yet, it appears, but if it happens you can bet the Muslim world will recoil in anger and horror. Many leaders of Muslim states have already come out and said that it would be disastrous if Trump did this.

UPDATE:
It looks like the report might have been slightly exaggerated:
The White House says the Trump administration is in the "beginning stages" of discussing the move of the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem

Trump spoke to Netanyahu by phone this morning, and this might have been one of the topics discussed, but we don’t know that. I guess we’ll find out tomorrow how accurate the report is!!
