Final preparations are underway in Israel for the US Embassy move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem scheduled for Monday. The US Deputy Secretary of State John Sullivan, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, along with President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner have arrived in Israel ahead of the opening of the embassy in Jerusalem. Israelis are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about the move while it's prompting mass protests on the streets of Palestine and beyond. Stephanie Freid reports.

The move is controversial because it cements U.S. recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital - recognition previous administrations and other world leaders never dared for formalize.

FATHER IBRAHIM SHOMALI CHANCELLOR, LATIN PATRIARCHATE OF JERUSALEM "This is our message to President Trump. It's not the capital of only one people or only one religion. It's the capital of everybody."

Decades-long policy had always been that the status of Jerusalem would be agreed upon in final stage peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Peace talks have been lifeless for years. The embassy move hammers a nail in the proverbial peace process coffin. In the wake of the embassy move announcement, Palestinian leaders turned their backs on the US as a peace broker. Nonetheless, the word in local political circles is that US envoys are formulating a peace plan they may reveal within the coming weeks. SFR, CGTN, JERUSALEM.
