Suspension of Limitations Under the Jerusalem Embassy Act

President Obama suspended for six months the statutory limitations in the Jerusalem Embassy Act that would have required moving the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and withholding funds for the State Department's acquisition and maintenance of overseas buildings, citing national security interests.
