This week marks the 50th anniversary of what Barkat called the “reunification” of Jerusalem, when Jordanian forces were expelled in the Six Day War. RelatedBarkat said the embassy decision has not spoiled his trust in Trump, even though it was a clear campaign promise. The two words, radical Islam, he could barely, he couldn’t say those two words,” Barkat said. “I think the world is starting to understand what we’ve gone through,” he said, meaning attacks in Paris, Nice, Berlin, Manchester and London have given the West a sense for the perils of daily Israeli life. And while in some cases people lost their lives doing so, but they saved others.”• Email: jbrean@nationalpost.com | Twitter: JosephBrean
