    Trump made the comment to reporters at the White House. The embassy is expected to open May 14 at a provisional site while a more permanent location is built.

    Earlier on Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told Fox News in an interview that he would “love” to have the U.S. president attend.

    Trump last month suggested he might help open the embassy, which aggravated Arab allies but strengthened his bond with Netanyahu.

    “Would love to have him here. It’s his decision. He’s got an open invitation,” Netanyahu told the “Fox & Friends” program.

    The decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem has outraged Palestinians, who want a capital for their own future state in eastern parts of the city, and has sparked criticism from around the world.

    I’m so hoping he will go, as he will be the star of the fantastic show. Thank you, Mr. Presidency, for having the courage to go where very president before you feared to tread. You are a true hero and a true friend to Israel!
