1- Why did Trump decide to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital?

In 2016, US President Donald Trump promised during his presidential campaign that he would recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv—a promise that every US President starting from Bill Clinton made, but didn't fulfill.

Trump had said he would move the US embassy “fairly quickly” after taking office. On Wednesday, nearly a year later, he formally announced the US’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, becoming the first American President to do so.

According to some American media, Trump’s move wasn’t necessarily about the location of the US embassy. Many say that it was rather a move intended to please domestic supporters, including his right-wing Evangelical base and the pro-Israel lobby.

Trump has faced trouble at home following allegations that his campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 elections. An ongoing probe is still looking into this matter. On December 1, Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn was charged for making false statement to the FBI about his interactions with Russian officials during the election campaign. Flynn pleaded guilty and agreed to co-operate with the special counsel investigating the administration.

Intelligence officials uncovered evidence of Flynn speaking to the Russian ambassador, leading him to resign in February.

2- Who supported the decision?

No one except Israel.

From US allies to leaders across the Middle East and the Muslim world—apart from in Israel itself—official reaction has been unanimous against the US decision. The move broke from decades of US policy towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Bringing longtime foes, Iran and Saudi Arabia, on the same side, world leaders quickly reacted to the decision.

Rejecting Trump’s speech on Jerusalem, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said that Trump “destroyed the two-state solution” and abdicated the US' role as a peace mediator. The secretary general of the United Nations also reiterated concerns of undermining the peace process.

"I have consistently spoken out against any unilateral measures that would jeopardise the prospect of peace for Israelis and Palestinians," UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said.

Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has also harshly criticised Trump’s decision, saying it would throw the region into a "ring of fire." He had earlier warned the US that changing the status of Jerusalem would be a red line for Muslims.

Iran’s foreign ministry also slammed the decision in a statement saying that the move would inflame a new Intifada, while Saudi Arabia called Trump’s move “irresponsible and unjustified". But a former aide of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said that Saudi Arabia "doesn't care" about the Palestinians as long it is able to secure Israel’s support against Iran.

The leaders of France, Britain and Germany also said they don't support the decision.

French President Emmanuel Macron called the decision “regrettable” stating that it violates international law.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that Germany does not support the Trump administration's decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital, “because the status of Jerusalem is to be resolved in the framework of a two-state solution."

British Prime Minister Theresa May said, "We disagree with the US decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem and recognise Jerusalem as the Israeli capital before a final status agreement."

Worldwide protests are also expected in front of Israeli and Palestinian embassies after Friday prayers.

3- Can he open an embassy in an occupied territory despite UN prohibitions?

Trump has not specified where exactly the embassy will be moved to. Israel has occupied East Jerusalem since 1967, and effectively annexed it in 1980 amidst international condemnation. With Jordanian control of the holy sites in the Eastern part, Jerusalem has remained a divided city ever since. But Israeli control of East Jerusalem is not recognised internationally.

A UN Security Council resolution adopted that year called on all states to withdraw their diplomatic missions in Jerusalem:

UN Resolution 476, adopted June 30, 1980, reaffirmed the “overriding necessity for ending the prolonged occupation of Arab territories occupied by Israel since 1967” and stated that all measures which had altered the status of Jerusalem were “null and void” and had to be rescinded.

Later that year, UN Resolution 478, which was adopted on August 20, 1980, condemned in “the strongest terms” the enactment of Israeli law proclaiming a change in the status of Jerusalem. The resolution called on all states “that have established diplomatic missions” in Jerusalem to withdraw them from the city.

Even before the annexation, in 1971, the UNSC gathered to stop Israel’s moves on Jerusalem. Resolution 298 confirmed in “the clearest possible terms” that all actions taken by Israel to change the status of Jerusalem, such as land confiscation, were illegal.

4 - What does it mean for any possible peace process?

Trump’s decision, which effectively kills the two-state solution, is widely seen as sabotaging his own pledge to broker the peace process between Palestine and Israel. The US has been the main broker of the peace process since 1967.

Trump, who also promised to be Israel’s "best friend" when he was running for the presidency, decided in January to assign his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner to lead US efforts in restarting the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.

The US’ recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital follows Hamas’s reconciliation deal with rival Fatah in October. Hamas took a harsher stance on any peace settlements with Israel, and has been fighting against Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, which Hamas had controlled since 2006.

Fatah, the largest political party of the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO), has been defending a two-state-solution and peace talks with Israel. The reconciliation between the rival Palestinian factions had become a hope towards the peace process and a two-state solution.

Regardless of being Israel's strongest ally, the US had spoken out against illegal Israeli settlement activity in Palestinian territory.

Fatah has also objected to the US' decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital.

Senior Hamas official and deposed Palestinian prime minister Ismail Haniya has called for a new "Intifada", or uprising, against the Israeli state. In his speech in Gaza on Thursday, Haniya said that Trump’s move has killed any Israeli-Palestinian peace process.

5- Why does Jerusalem matter?

Jerusalem is home to sacred relics, historical figures, and holy sites, shared by the world’s three Abrahamic religions—Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. A compound, which is the holiest site for Judaism and the third holiest site for Islam, is located in the eastern part of Jerusalem. The compound is called the Haram al Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary, by Muslims—which houses the Aqsa mosque—and the Temple Mount by Jews.

The territory has been a source of conflict between Israel and Palestine, and the city has also seen centuries of struggle for control by Muslims, Jews and Christians.

The eastern part of the city fell under Egyptian and Jordanian control, along with the West Bank and Gaza, during the first Arab-Israeli war in 1948, when Israel captured almost 80 percent of Palestine.

Israel occupied the city during the Six-Day war in 1967, calling it Israel's “eternal, undivided capital.” It undermined the citizenship of Palestinians, who were given “permanent residents” status instead, which means that Israel can revoke their identification at any time.

The Palestinian uprising against Israel in 2000, or the second Intifada, broke out in Jerusalem and spread across Palestine. And the latest unrest was sparked in the city in July, when Israel began using metal detectors and installed surveillance cameras at the Aqsa compound. It wasn't the first time Muslims have been prevented from praying at the Harem al Sharif by Israel, sparking unrest across the city.

The Palestinian leadership will not host any US delegations, including Vice President Mike Pens, following the decision of US President Donald Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

Leader of Palestine Liberation Front Wasel Abu Yousef said Palestine considers the US decision declaration of war against the Palestinians, RIA Novosti reported.

“There are no negotiations with the US, it can be considered a declaration of war against the Palestinian people and leadership,” he said.

Israeli jets launched missiles at targets in the Gaza Strip on Friday, as the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas called for violent resistance after the U.S. recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital earlier in the week.

Israel carried out the airstrikes after coming under fire from rockets launched by suspected terror groups, according to the Times of Israel. Some of the rockets were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defense system, but one landed near a residential area in the town of Sderot, without causing injuries.

The Gaza Health Ministry said the air strikes killed two men. Israeli military officials said the strikes targeted “instigators” of violent riots along the Gaza-Israel border, where more than 4,000 Palestinians gathered to protest against the U.S. decision.

“Hits were confirmed,” Israeli officials said, according to the Washington Post.

The exchange of missile fire marked an escalation of violence in the wake of the President Donald Trump’s decision to formally recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital and announce plans to move the U.S. embassy there. A decisive change from longtime U.S. policy, the move was widely supported in Israel, but drew condemnation from Arab leaders and many Western allies.

Fighting broke out on Friday in Jerusalem’s Old City and across the West Bank, as thousands of Palestinian protesters took to the streets in a “day of rage.” Clashes erupted in the West Bank cities of of Bethlehem, Ramallah, Hebron and Nablus, while the largest demonstrations occurred along the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip.

Hamas, which controls Gaza, has called on its followers to mount at third mass uprising, or intifada, against Israel over the perceived change of Jerusalem’s status. The first two intifadas devolved into a cycle of violent reprisals, resulting in of thousands military and civilian deaths on both sides.

“Today we declare an uprising against the occupation, and there are no half-solutions,” Fathi Hammad, a member of the Hamas political bureau, said on Friday, according to the Washington Post. “We call upon all the free people of the world to boycott America and Israel, and we call on the Arab and Islamic countries to take a serious stand and support our people.”

The U.S. has defended its policy change against criticism from Arab and Western governments, who say it will hurt the chances of a negotiated settlement leading to the creation of a Palestinian state. During an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Friday, U.S. Ambassador Nikki Haley said Washington won’t be “lectured” about its support for Israel and Middle East peace.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took a slightly more diplomatic tone while speaking in Paris, noting that Trump’s decision did not indicate any “final status” for Jerusalem. Tillerson said the issue of sovereignty in Jerusalem would eventually be decided through negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

We all know IPOB and MASSOB want a different country of their own called "Biafra". They are ready to die for their Biafra. These organisations as we all know ain't afraid to speak up on anything. They currently have a court case with the government.

These groups called IPOB and MASSOB have not publicly declared their interest in the Nigerian Project.. These groups condemn Nigeria and always singing about her failures and also called her a zoo. The First Lady Aisha Buhari also supported the Zoo theory by referring to Nigeria as an "Animal Kingdom ".... The Hyenas and the Lion king....

So I wonder why Afonjas and Zombies think Atiku's supporters are IPOBIANS... Don't get it twisted because I might also be a Yoruba person... My fellow comrade FFK also called the Vice President Osinbanjo Yemi an Afonja... As we all know, Afojas are the disgrace and abomination of the Yuroba race..

The zombies also say the samething but I still believe that there is a cure for the virus... If the zombies in Resident Evil could regain their humanity then there is hope for the zombies in Nigeria... Even the alimajiris understood the true meaning of hunger as far back as 2015.


The Hausa/Fulani hierarchy don't care as long as the President is from their ethnic groups. Buhari and Atiku political struggle for power just makes them feel powerful. So don't get it twisted. Their struggle for power just shows the healthiness of the Northern politics.

If people support Atiku then it is definitely because they have lost faith in the present administration. The same way people lost confidence in the past administration and we all know the outcome.

So the sympathizers of this current administration should look for another strategy to support their campaign or political mobilization because as it is right now, the Political Participation in Nigeria is increasing by the day. The Political Apathy in Nigeria is rapidly deminising.


Right decisions and the wisdom to choose the right leaders will be of great advantage to us and the unborn generation.

Together we can make it work... #Peace

Even kids...

When the grand patron herdsmen (fulani) is the president of a country what do u expect...

Over 10,000 killed and not a word of condemnation from the grand patron president called Buhari or the presidency... Liar Mohammed will soon tell the press that no one was killed even when there are many pics of the massacre on social media... Thank God for technology...

The heartbreaking thing is that IPOB that has not killed a single soul was called a terrorist organization by the government meanwhile the Fulanis have taken over 10,000 lives since 2015 but the government called them criminals...

Such catastrophe and bad Judgement from the government (playing tribal politics) makes me agree with NNAMDI KANU that Nigeria is a zoo...
