Public opinion in the West on Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of “Israel”
Nearly a week after President Trump's unilateral decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, there are plenty of reasons to be confused by the move.
Despite no real pressure from the Israeli government nor unanimous clamoring in Washington for the move, Trump threw decades of long-standing US policy up in the air. He embraced Jerusalem as Israel's capital without making any nod to Palestinian claims to the eastern part of the city, prompting analysts and former diplomats to write obituaries for the two-state solution.
Secretary of State Rex Tillerson then told reporters that the US embassy's relocation from Tel Aviv would probably not happen next year, raising even more questions about the timing of Trump's statement.
