Donald Trump appeared on the verge of formally recognising Jerusalem as the “capital of Israel”, in a move that would upend decades of US presidential diplomacy and could trigger unrest across the Middle East.

The suggestion came ahead of a key speech on the issue on Wednesday, as Trump called the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, and other Arab leaders, to tell them that he plans to move the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.

The disclosure – in a phone call between Trump and Abbas on Tuesday – came after the US president declined to sign a waiver blocking the move as every predecessor of his has done since 1995 – by a deadline of midnight on Monday.

Hmmmmmm. Trump is a man after my own heart but does he have to do this? How prepared are we to face the consequences from the Muslims? Let’s stay abreast of the news as they come from the US in order to prepare us of the likely reaction from the Muslim world.

The person u quoted understands the situation much better than u do and the inherent dangers in what Trump is planning to do simply because Jerusalem is being hotly contested by Israel and the PLO,so by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel means he is shutting out the PLO and her historical claims to the city,this move will surely trigger a lot of chaos and unrest in the Middle East esp the Arab world given their hatred for anything Israel...
