That chance was brightest in the 2023 elections which was on a neutral ground.
But it failed. It will be foolhardiness to think that it will work in 2027 against the incumbent.
A word is enough for the wise.

What I remember is that head of Israeli government remains in Tel Aviv and the last time that Trump tries to complete the move, something interesting happened immediately that claimed the lives of over 1m Americans and instantly sent Trump to the backgrounds of history. Now an ex convict, let him come back to complete it this time around. Perhaps something more interesting will happen again. Imho, it was a divine intervention.

LtChisom:
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - The United States opens its new embassy in Jerusalem on May 14, a move that has delighted Israel and infuriated Palestinians.
On Monday, road signs directing traffic there went up around the neighborhood where it will be situated, and next week's opening ceremony is timed to coincide with Israel's 70th anniversary.
The initiative was driven by President Donald Trump, after he broke last year with decades of U.S. policy by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Trump said his administration has a peace proposal in the works, and recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of America's closest ally had "taken Jerusalem, the toughest part of the negotiation, off the table."
Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, celebrated Trump's decision, but the move upset the Arab world and Western allies.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called it a "slap in the face" and said Washington could no longer be regarded as an honest broker in any peace talks with Israel.


Initially, a small interim embassy will operate from the building in southern Jerusalem that now houses U.S. consular operations, while a secure site is found to move the rest of the embassy operations from Tel Aviv.

WHY DID TRUMP RECOGNIZE JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL'S CAPITAL, AND ANNOUNCE THE EMBASSY WILL BE MOVED THERE?

There has long been pressure from pro-Israel politicians in Washington to move the embassy to Jerusalem, and Trump made it a signature promise of his 2016 election campaign.


The decision was popular with many conservative and evangelical Christians who voted for Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, many of whom support political recognition of Israel's claim to the city.
Trump acted under a 1995 law that requires the United States to move its embassy to Jerusalem, but to which other presidents since then - Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama - consistently signed waivers.

WHY DOES JERUSALEM PLAY SUCH AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST CONFLICT?

Religion, politics and history.
Jerusalem has been fought over for millennia by its inhabitants, and by regional powers and invaders.
It is sacred to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, and each religion has sites of great significance there.
Israel's government regards Jerusalem as the eternal and indivisible capital of the country, although that is not recognized internationally. Palestinians feel equally strongly, saying that East Jerusalem must be the capital of a future Palestinian state.

The city even has different names. Jews call it Jerusalem, or Yerushalayim, and Arabs call it Al-Quds, which means "The Holy".
But the city’s significance goes further.

At the heart of the Old City is the hill known to Jews across the world as Har ha-Bayit, or Temple Mount, and to Muslims internationally as al-Haram al-Sharif, or The Noble Sanctuary. It was home to the Jewish temples of antiquity but all that remains of them above ground is a restraining wall for the foundations built by Herod the Great. Known as the Western Wall, this is a sacred place of prayer for Jews.

Within yards of the wall, and overlooking it, are two Muslim holy places, the Dome of the Rock and Al-Aqsa Mosque, which was built in the 8th century. Muslims regard the site as the third holiest in Islam, after Mecca and Medina.

The city is also an important pilgrimage site for Christians, who revere it as the place where they believe that Jesus Christ preached, died and was resurrected.


WHAT IS THE CITY'S MODERN HISTORY AND STATUS?

In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly decided that the then British-ruled Palestine should be partitioned into an Arab state and a Jewish state. But it recognized that Jerusalem had special status and proposed international rule for the city, along with nearby Bethlehem, as a 'corpus separatum' to be administered by the United Nations.

That never happened. When British rule ended in 1948, Jordanian forces occupied the Old City and Arab East Jerusalem. Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it.

In 1980 the Israeli parliament passed a law declaring the "complete and united" city of Jerusalem to be the capital of Israel. But the United Nations regards East Jerusalem as occupied, and the city's status as disputed until resolved by negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

DOES ANY OTHER COUNTRY HAVE AN EMBASSY IN JERUSALEM?

In March Guatemala's president, Jimmy Morales, said that his country will move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on May 16, two days after the U.S. move.
Netanyahu said in April that "at least half a dozen" countries were now "seriously discussing" following the U.S. lead, but he did not identify them.

In December, 128 countries voted in a non-binding U.N. General Assembly resolution calling on the United States to drop its recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Nine voted against, 35 abstained and 21 did not cast a vote.


WHAT IS LIKELY TO HAPPEN NEXT? HAS JERUSALEM BEEN A FLASHPOINT BEFORE?

Since Trump's announcement there have been Palestinian protests and wider political tensions.
Arab leaders across the Middle East have warned the move could lead to turmoil and hamper U.S. efforts to restart long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

More than 40 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops in Gaza during a six-week border protest due to culminate on May 15, the day after the U.S. Embassy move and when Palestinians traditionally lament homes and land lost with Israel's creation.
Although the clashes have not been on the scale of the Palestinian intifadas of 1987-1993 and 2000-2005, violence has erupted before over matters of sovereignty and religion.

In 1969 an Australian Messianic Christian tried to burn down Al-Aqsa Mosque. He failed but caused damage, and prompted fury across the Arab world.

In 2000, the Israeli politician Ariel Sharon, then opposition leader, led a group of Israeli lawmakers onto the Temple Mount/al-Haram al-Sharif complex. A Palestinian protest escalated into the second intifada.

Deadly confrontations also took place in July after Israel installed metal detectors at the complex's entrance after Arab-Israeli gunmen killed two Israeli policemen there.

The proof is in the anecdotal evidences that were prophesied and that came to pass. You can choose to be the one who can throw the most tantrums on a public forum, it doesn't change the facts. But wise people will take heed and ignoramuses will be doomed.

ProphetMohemmad:
Where is the source of the information that mohamed ascended to heaven or didn't you notice the mad man was trying to imitate Jesus but his own was at night with no evidence.

That is what I am saying, mohamed wanted to attach himself to either christians or jews but was rejected, how can your allah not ascend him from mecca or medinna but it is from other people's land.

So it means it is the jews who were owners of the land?
So your allah knew that is where solomon built his temple but still wanted to cause problems by telling muslims to go there, anyway now,. The jews the original owners before these arabs came want them out na, these your mohammad's ascension, how come Mohammad didn't write any part of quoran?
The quoran wasn't even written in mecca or medina, so how can it be true, if mohamed was a drug abuser like opium, isn't schizophrenia that he called angel is talking to him, I read he was mentally deranged.

So it was the arabs that started dragging Jerusalem with the Jews first.

You seem to miss the important points because if you do, you will easily realise the irrelevance to your question. Relate with Islam from the point of how the Creator, God Almighty, connects His holy sites to certain elevated individuals. In Islam, we know that Jerusalem is sacred to the Jews because God Almighty ordered prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) to build the temple of worship on a designated holy site over there. We also know that Sulaiman is the son of Dawud (David) and they lived in the same place. So what are you really driving at asking that question?

Anyway, same place is claimed by christians as where crucifixion occurred. And same place was marked later for the ascension of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) by God Almighty. Now it is left to you to believe this or not. But remember that an unlettered man in Medina taught his companions all about this holy land and how it will fall to the Muslims and so it came to pass. God is never unjust but His Wrath always visits after learning the truth and then choosing to be defiant.

LtChisom:
So in 66 AD, where was these palestinians?
In your quoran, was king David not a Jew? Were was his palace situated?

Answer from your quran and hadith.

No references, just fiat claims.
Ok.

LtChisom:

KEEP DECEIVING YOURSELF!





He later changed his implication from Palestinians being descended from southern Europeans to being descended from Peninsular Arabians: "There's no connection between the ancient Philistines & the modern Palestinians, whose ancestors came from the Arabian Peninsula to the Land of Israel thousands of years later.










Most scholars agree that the Philistines were of Greek origin, and that they came from Crete and the rest of the Aegean Islands or, more generally, from the area of modern-day Greece.



The ancient and Biblical Philistines no longer exist today. After their land was conquered by the Neo-Babylonians, they assimilated into the culture of their conquerors and became extinct over time.



Without lies islam will die a natural death.

Because Jerusalem is also the site of ascension of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam) to Heaven and back. It is so designated by God Almighty just as it was designated for Solomon to build a temple of worship there.

It has never been a solely Jewish people:

LtChisom:
My problem is how did jewish land all of a sudden became a holy land for Islam?
We all know those palestinians came there during that time, just like what the fulanis do, the arabs wanted to islamise Jerusalem, if it is not wickedness, why will mohamed be joining issues with land of Israel, during 66 AD, where are all these arabs they call palestinians now.

Palestine (Greek) same as Philistine (likely Aramaic).
Goliath that David fought is from Philistine

Saint99:
If Palestine had been in existence for too long before Israel, can you name one known king who ruled in Palestine? David, Solomon, and Saul to mention just a few reigned in Israel close to 3000 years ago, Jerusalem has been known as the city of David for ages.

The muslim conquest of Jerusalem (and the land of Palestine as a whole) was a (likely) divine alignment of prophecies in Islam and Christianity that was fulfilled by the Caliph Omar (radi Allahu anh). So not a single drop of blood was shed. The key to the Church of the holy sepulchre (according to the christians) was handed over to the Caliph and that remains with the muslims till today. At the time the Christian had expelled the Jews out of the Holy land so it was the Caliph who resettled the Jews back into the land thereby teaching the Christians that the land is holy to all three faiths: the church of the holy sepulchare, the temple of solomon, and the ascension to Heaven (and back) of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (SallAllahu alaihi wa sallam).

The World is on a Brink of a Prophetic Shift.

Scriptures are falling into a place right before our eyes.

The prophecies that were Sealed in Daniel are being REVEALED as we get closer to the end of time.

The Holy Bible is the Greatest and Most Imporrant book for all Humanity on the Face of Earth

You dont need a prophet to prophesy anything.
Scripture is literally jumping off the pages of the Bible lately and ending up on tomorrow's news headlines.

The Wise will understand and do the needful! The Foolish will not

Get ready Folks! Live ready!
EVERYTHING IS SET
This World is about to Explode!

The RAPTURE could happen anytime anyday.
Settle the Matter of your Soul with JESUS CHRIST. There is no more time

The injustice and tyranny in the world will one day come to an end and their beneficiaries will be put to shame.
God abhors injustice.

Ha!!! I hope this is not preparing the grounds to deny Dangote of crude oil supply else what's the relevance of this? This alone takes about 25% of our total crude output.

On top of this we still have to sell some parts to earn forex and some other parts that are taken by the IOCs

Meanwhile Dangote needs 650,000 BPD (45%) of our total crude output) to meet it's targeted markets demands

Well at this point, personally, I can only pray that the naira crude sale becomes a reality

All through this saga, Dangote has maintained the position that he is not begging to sell refined products to Nigerians (as he has option to export his products). He also maintains that he is not begging to buy crude from Nigeria as he has already demonstrated with the current products in the market where he imported the crude from other countries. He only applies his margins based on the offers he gets.

Tell me how this is not a veiled hate speech

adonainana:
Like play like play crude oil won’t be sold to dangote in naira

Therefore the price of 898 naira per elite of petrol which dangote claims is the cost of his refined petrol because he bought the crude in dollars would remain

Fuel will never ever be less than 1,000 naira per litre

No matter what

The worse one is since dangote is still buying crude oil in dollars, the relief on Nigerian foreign exchange that would meant to be up to 40 percent relief would never happen.

In other words, the process of importing the same refined petrol Nigerian imported simply was transferred to dangote who built a refinery and instead refined the crude oil for Nigeria

What a waste what a country

Dangote should and would be in prison in other advanced economies

Monopoly is one thing. Nationalistic oligarchism of a whole country is another

EFCC are trying to flip the meaning of DNFIBPs on its head. They did this cleverly by not exposing the nature of the activities of Bob Express and its financial dealings, thereby covering it up from being classified as one, at least, according to this report. Any entity, group or individuals that are involved in activities outside of the traditional financial sector but have the potential to be exploited for money laundering, terrorist financing, or other illicit financial activities is classified as a DNFIBP which is a global standard. And it becomes a crime if such an entity is not registered with SCUML in the first place.

In Nigeria, however, because the Bob Express has not been registered with SCUML, then it is free from money laundering investigations.

Serious!

I hope he excels like Frederic Kanoute.

For NNPC to be major determinant of what goes in and comes out of the Dangote refinery is the first signal to discerning minds that the entire refinery has been cooped up into NNPCs stranglehold of control. I hope that this office is not the precursor to the birth of the monster that will eventually grow to consume this investment.

Nairaland deserves a spot in that list. If not for the bags then for the popularity.

Lol usual testing the decibel level for a new pump price.

Let's yell back now now before it gets cast in stone.

Dear shaykh, give us your candid view and let us know where you truly stand here and stop sitting on the fence.

Are they fighting for Allah?

Remember that we haven't forgotten your slip of the tongue: Our foot soldiers in the forest.

How's that now an excuse?

I hope he doesn't know about Nairaland because of the take down that will follow from our aunties here, lol.

If ISIS did not start this upheaval, another willing entity definitely would.

Africa was colonised to remain a western stooge. Of course, with some modicum of understanding to interact with the east but in a controlled manner. Any attempt to stray from this path or to upstage your masters shall always meet with this type of outcome in one form or another. Though I am not a supporter of the dictators but it was also apparent that they were literally standing on top of landmines.

Why was disobedience to the scriptures of old mentioned in this verse which you conveniently lifted out of the quotation?

The format has always been the same: deliberately misrepresent the facts to keep the sheeples under intellectual bondage.

Odingo1:
Who are you deceiving, Islam want to conquer the world and introduce sharia law as written in Koran. Quran 9:29 says fight the unbelievers until they pay jisya tax in humiliation.

Why do I, as a muslim, don't feel connected whenever this abbreviation ISIS is being splashed around?

Probably because I only get to see this abbreviation when a random attack happens somewhere and sometimes where it doesn't even make sense that it should be happening anyway. And probably because I don't get to hear this four letter word when the core tenets of my religion is being evangelised: maintaining a good relationship and neighbourliness, showing compassion, establishing worship towards God Almighty, suppressing greed, preserving humanity in its original genders of male and female, closing the means to and avoiding sins of the flesh etc.

It feels like someone or some kind of orchestrated machinery wants to force it on me that ISIS is my religion. Is this a deliberate attempt to blackmail me and my religion by an organised deep state framework?

Hmmm!!!!
