The unilateral decision by the Trump administration to favour Israel, defy the world and recognize the fiercely divided city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel not only reverses nearly seven decades of U.S. foreign policy. A Palestinian protestor in Gaza City steps on a poster of U.S. President Donald Trump following his decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. If you kill the creation of a viable Sate of Palestine, you will risk killing the State of Israel in the process. Israel regards the entire city as its indivisible capital, while the Palestinians claim East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state. Trump’s announcement this week certainly ended the charade that the U.S. can be an honest broker.
