The Washington in the coming days will announce whether the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

"That's obviously been an issue we've received a lot of incoming on today. The President has been clear on this issue from the get-go; that it's not a matter of if, but a matter of when. No action, though, will be taken on the waiver today, and we will share a decision on the waiver in coming days", said a White House spokesman.
