President Trump’s announcement that the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel has generated significant media attention. At this time we are not aware of any planned demonstrations against this policy. American citizens are urged to monitor local news and exercise normal precautions. Maintain a high level of vigilance, take appropriate steps to enhance your personal security and follow instructions of local authorities. Exercise caution in the vicinity of any large gatherings or demonstrations.
