GOP Mega-Donor Adelson Upset Over Tillerson’s Comments Regarding US Embassy in Israel – By Brian Freeman / May 14 2017

Las Vegas billionaire Sheldon Adelson, who gave President Donald Trump’s inauguration its single largest donation at $5 million, is furious about comments Secretary of State Rex Tillerson made on Sunday regarding Trump’s campaign promise to move the U.S. embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, Axios reported.

When asked about Trump’s vow to move the embassy to Jerusalem, Tillerson told NBC’s “Meet The Press” that the president “has rightly taken a very deliberative approach on the issue,” insisting that because Trump “wants to put a lot of effort into seeing if we cannot advance a peace initiative between Israel and Palestine… the president is being very careful to understand how such a decision [moving the embassy] would impact a peace process.”

Adelson, who along with his wife also spent more than $80 million on Republican campaigns during the last election, reportedly said that Trump’s promise was not contingent on the progress of the peace process since that was always the rationale of previous presidents, and Trump’s vow was meant to differentiate from that view.
