Israel proclaimed independence on May 14, 1948.<\/p>\n<p>The May opening marks a significant acceleration. Vice President Mike Pence had said previously the embassy would open by the end of 2019. And Tillerson had said it could take years.<\/p>\n<p>Initially, the embassy will consist of just a few offices inside an existing U.S. facility in Jerusalem.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In October, 1995 the House and Senate passed a bill called the \u201cJerusalem Embassy Act,\u201d which formally recognized the city as the country\u2019s capital and called for the U.S. Embassy in Israel to be moved there from Tel Aviv by 1999.
