Recognition of Jerusalem as Israeli capital (2017x46)

: 19, 2017

President Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel on December 6th and directed the State Department to move the embassy there. The planning, funding and logistics won’t happen overnight, but the United States is the first country to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. Currently, emotions are running high, and opinions are clouded by the city’s theological heritage that often exaggerates any form of change as impending doom and destruction. Although the situation will not go apocalyptic, Trump’s decision has upending decades of American policy in one of the most contentious conflicts in the world.
