Yesterday, a group of American Jews called on U.S. President-elect Barack Obama to transfer the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in a move so far declined by many American presidents in light of the controversy still present regarding the status of the holy city.

In West Jerusalem, a gathering of about 100 Jewish extremists were spotted in the area chosen by the U.S. Congress in 1995 for the future U.S. embassy establishment.

The participants sang the American national anthem and waved banners reading: "President Obama: the capital of Israel is where the U.S. embassy should be."

A resolution was passed by Congress in 1995 to transfer the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem in 1999 but successive American administrations have delayed its implementation.
