JERUSALEM — America’s friends and foes unleashed fierce criticism on Wednesday ahead of President Donald Trump’s announcement recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. The peace process is finished. “They cannot take us for granted.”The U.S. decision “destroys the peace process,” added Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah. Top Palestinian officials were meeting Wednesday to plot their course forward. Still, the declaration of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital carries deep symbolic significance and could have dangerous consequences.
