An aide to Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan (D-N.Y.), said he is optimistic that with a new government in Israel, the controversial issue of the U.S. Embassy could be resolved soon.

There could be a “meaningful gesture on Jerusalem which will satisfy the letter and spirit of the Jerusalem Embassy Act without impacting negatively on the peace negotiations,” said David Luchins, the aide to Moynihan, who is the Senate’s point man on the issue.
