This really was mostly a meaningless step by Trump. For all practical purposes, the embassy remains in Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the "embassy" in Jerusalem (former consulate) doesn't function as an embassy because it doesn't yet meet the physical and signals security requirements of an embassy (as the former embassy in Tel Aviv does.). Accordingly, nearly all of our diplomatic staff remain in Tel Aviv.
