President Donald Trump told Arab leaders in phone calls on Tuesday that he intends to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Arab officials said, a move that could scuttle the U.S. leader’s plans to launch an Israeli-Palestinian peace plan and risks sparking violence across the Middle East.
Mr. Trump is expected to delay the embassy move but will make a speech on Wednesday laying out details of the planned relocation and could also recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, U.S. officials said. State Department officials have warned embassies around the world to brace for potential protests.
