Trump is expected to sign the six-month waiver that would keep the embassy in Tel Aviv rather than move it to Jerusalem, a move Trump vowed to make during his presidential campaign.

An official told the news network that while a final decision has not been reached, the administration has prepared documents for both options.

The action of moving the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is "something the president supports, something he supported during the campaign, something he still supports," the official told CNN.

"If he signs the wavier this week, that will not be indicative of him reversing his opinion; it will just be a question of timing. It will be when, not if."

The president still backs moving the embassy but does not believe now is the right time due to possible peace negotiations, the report said.
