Happening now.. It's official, US finally opens Embassy in Jerusalem, Israel.
The US anthem has just be sung there now..



The United States has officially relocated its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, in a deeply controversial move that angered Palestinians and drew widespread international condemnation.

The ceremony on Monday took place amid road closures and heavy police presence in anticipation of Palestinian protests.

US President Donald Trump - who in December 2017 declared Jerusalem as Israel's capital, a move long-sought by Israel - addressed the ceremony via a recorded video message.

"Today we follow through on this recognition and open our embassy in the historic and sacred land of Jerusalem and we're opening it many, many years ahead of schedule," Trump said.

He added that the US "remains fully committed to facilitating a lasting peace agreement".

According to Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld, up to 1,000 officers were posted around the embassy's new location in the southwest neighbourhood of Arnona and its surrounding areas.

The closures spread to occupied East Jerusalem, where access to the Old City was curtailed from areas extending to it such as al-Tur, Mount of Olives, Sheikh Jarrah and Silwan.

Protests have spread across the occupied Palestinian territories.

At least 41 people killed in Gaza and nearly 2,000 wounded during demonstrations that are part of a weeks-long protest calling for the right of return for Palestinian refugees to the areas they were forcibly expelled from in 1948.
Tear gas and rubber bullets

At the Qalandiya checkpoint in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers fired tear gas and rubber bullets at Palestinian youth who were throwing stones.

Later on Monday, a protest rally was expected to make its way to the new US embassy location, but with the road closures the demonstration is not expected to reach its destination.


In a statement released on Monday, the Palestinian Authority described Trump's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and the US embassy move as "blatant violations of international law and disregard to the core values of justice and morality".

"Choosing a tragic day in Palestinian history shows great insensibility and disrespect for the core principles of the peace process," the statement said, referring to the Nakba, where Palestinians commemorate their ethnic cleansing by Zionist paramilitaries back in 1948.

"We convey our sincere gratitude to all countries that had the moral responsibility to stand by international legitimacy to protect Jerusalem and support the Palestinians hope for peace."

Riyad al-Malki, the Palestinian foreign minister, said on Monday that the Palestinian leadership will go to the International Criminal Court and was preparing to file documents on crimes committed by Israel.

Speaking to old a local radio station, al-Malki called for an urgent meeting of the Arab League, which he said would be followed by meetings at the UN Security Council.

Leaders from Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon and other countries in the region strongly condemned the US move.

Deputy US secretary of state just announced the official opening of US embassy in Jerusalem, Israel.

God bless Donald Trump for a job well done.

They won't like it........

Efforts of buhari and his fellow terrorists are now in vain.
I urge Israeli forces not to hesitate in crushing any terrorist that will attempt to cause trouble.

Meanwhile .. Where are MUMURIC members, when are they going to protest.?

buhari will not like this, bad news for him after his return from the USA.
and his followers will commit suicide on this thread

This is what happens when Christians choose to be politically relevant. I know the great pressure the evangelical movement had put on successive administration at congress and white house to ensure that Jerusalem must indeed be recognised in practice as the eternal, undivided capital of Isreal. God bless the likes of Pastor John Hagee, Perry Stone and Rob Paterson and of course CUFI: Christians United For Isreal for the great work done to ensure this was possible. And of course God bless D.J Trump. I'm truly convinced beyond doubt he is God's select for America.

As for the deaths that have followed, it is indeed very sad. I wish the palestinian authorities would do more to prevail on her people to be reasonable rather than trying to forcefully breech the border of Isreal. Isreal has sacrificed lots of its ancestral lands to the Palestinians but Jerusalem is not negotiable.

What's the implication?

Nice one Pres. Trump. You talk and do.
I saw in the news that Palestinians are already protesting and attempting to cross Israel border.
Hamas recorded 35 dead Palestinians. If this is true, Palestinian parents are shameless for using their kids blood for politics. They are found of using children as shield. Set of selfish and coward humans.

The world is changing. Gone are the days when people say Israelis are land grabbers. Its in muslim records, even Quran that David, king of Jews was the founder of Jerusalem. Suddenly they play ignorant (of which they are knew Israel belong to Jews) just because of hate for Jews.
Jews are back in their home land. Nothing not even 20 Irans can remove them. Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Yemen has already gave up and are now friends of Jews. Saudi and Israel are now exchanging weapon programs.

ABeg this war is boring now. Muslims/Arab should just forget it and move on. It’s a lost battle.

The lesson of the story is: “You can’t fight for God or Fight Gods’ word”. God knows what he wants

No wonder Isreali snippers dey shoot them while they were protesting


ISLAMABAD IS THE CAPITAL OF.....

This is seriously serious!

Trump doesn't have time for jokes.

Arab world hide ur face

President Trump i hope you know what you are doing..
We don't want innocent lives to be lost please.. Nd i hope this action won't increase terrorism

The implications is that some people will cry in vain

The end is here.

God help us.

Run to Christ for salvation now.

Nigeria is one of the 35 countries that was represented at the ceremony

Lol, "widespread condemnation"? Which country condemnation go affect USA? They can do anything they want to do, at anytime, no country can do anything about that.

By this move Trump has finally answered the age long question; who owns Jerusalem?

Nice one.
