CNN sorted through many apples and bananas before settling on this tweet to describe what’s happening:

That sound you hear is heads slamming onto desks and collective facepalms everywhere.
“Break with tradition” is an interesting way to describe recognizing a foreign capital as required by a 1995 law… https://t.co/tZTguqULhu

What a pissy headline
Biased much?The tradition, everywhere else in the world, is the US Embassy goes in a nation's capital
This is actually breaking with BS to follow tradition https://t.co/DZeFgbGvyM

"break with tradition" = Jerusalem Embassy Act: to provide for the relocation of the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 is a public law of the United States passed by the 104th Congress on Oct. 23, '95, and supported by EVERY President since '95. https://t.co/nmIZhIjxpS

Not to totally ruin CNN’s day or anything, but Guatemala is also moving its embassy to Israel.
