Trump could cause Middle East uproar by moving embassy to Jerusalem

Posted by | December 14, 2016 13:47 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics

If Trump makes this move, watch out.

Comments from Trump aides and the mayor of Jerusalem, though, suggest that Trump could be poised to discard yet another diplomatic axiom and relocate the embassy “fairly quickly” after he enters the White House. That move would be highly political, effectively meaning that the United States was recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which it has refused to do for decades out of concern about provoking Palestinians who want part of the city to become their own capital…

The question of Jerusalem’s status is the most sensitive and complicated issue in the long-running conflict between ­Israelis and Palestinians. It is fraught with political, religious and nationalist implications that potentially could create an uproar throughout the Middle East and the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims.

    Does this mean camp David is up for sale ? After all no previous Republican presidents ever used it.

    It does not need to be said that there will be necessary to build a Trump Towers Jerusalem to house the new American Embassy.

    Oh good! Maybe he can knock down the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build his towers on that site. This would be a win-win for Jews and Christians. The Christians keeps sending money to Israel so they can build up an arsenal, destroy the Dome on the Rock and build a Synagogue in its place, thereby bringing on “Armageddon”.
