| Trump postpones Israel trip 'until after he is elected' | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he is postponing a planned trip to Israel. | |
| The business mogul tweeted that the trip would take place "at a later date after I become President of the US". | |
| Earlier this week, Mr Trump proposed a temporary halt on Muslims entering the United States. | |
| His proposal was met with intense criticism from around the world, including from Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu. | |
| Mr Trump confirmed the postponement in an interview on Fox News. | |
| His proposed ban came days after a deadly attack in San Bernardino, California by a radicalised Muslim couple. | |
| Mr Trump has come under criticism from some Jewish people in the US after refusing to endorse Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel. | |
| The US, like most countries, does not recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, saying its status should be resolved through talks between Palestinians and Israelis. | |
| Earlier this week, reports suggested that Mr Trump would visit Jordan in addition to Israel. Mr Trump denied these reports on Twitter. | |
| Meanwhile, in the UK a petition calling for Mr Trump to be barred from entering the UK has garnered more than 418,000 names - meaning MPs will have to consider it. | |
| Home Secretary Theresa May can exclude an individual if she considers their presence is "not conducive to the public good or if their exclusion is justified on public policy grounds". |
