President Joe Biden's administration announced that it was determined to implement the plan of his predecessor, Donald Trump, to build an American embassy in Jerusalem, according to reports.

“The Biden administration is moving ahead with plans to build a permanent embassy compound in the city,” wrote the Intercept, adding that this comes almost five years after Trump “broke with decades of US policy and international consensus” to recognize Jerusalem as Israeli Occupation’s capital and move the American Embassy there.

The Intercept added that the new embassy will be built on land “illegally expropriated from Palestinians, whose descendants, including several US citizens, still have a claim to.”

The report indicated that the plans for the new embassy, which the current administration has quietly pushed in the past weeks, will reinforce Trump's policy, which reversed the traditional American position and violated an American precedent regarding the status of Jerusalem and the illegal confiscation of Palestinian lands.
