No country has an embassy in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is considered “disputed,” as both Israel and the Palestinian Authority claim it as their capital. Because Jerusalem only came under full control of Israel after the 6-day war in ’67 any move for Israel to claim the city as their capital is seen as legitimizing actions taken in that war. As you might know, most of the critique against Israel centers on territory they gained control of during the 6-day war. Foreign countries typically establish their embassies in a country’s capital. However, putting your embassy in Jerusalem would be seen as legitimizing… Read more »

Is trump a friend? Yes… okay, so what could be the issue here? Moving the US embassy to Jerusalem is a just and long overdue. So we applaud the president for taking the first step to doing so. However, this is only an announcement that they intend to move the embassy, but it reality he’s actively postponing its move! So aside from the political aspect, all the noise and excitement from fans and critics – at the moment this remains smoke and mirrors, very trump like. Trump likes to be right, so although he’s making a lot of noise, he… Read more »

A lot of people are not going to be happy, and I think this is going to cause a lot of conflict

G-d bless america and G-d bless presidant trump! This issue is at the very heart of the conflict and the legitimization of the Jewish capital can be compared to the recognition of the Jewish homeland on the 2nd of November 1917, this is a real step forward. Trump is americas balfour, too bad England didn’t take this step already.

Is this considered the part where EDOM tries to grab a piece of Jerusalem? At least in theory or the beginning of it?

Any nation that lifts a finger to Israel – will pay the FULL price.

December 5, 2017 4:07 pm

saying he will move it is no change from past. he is still the same position on this matter until he actually moves it. all talk no action.

It is one more international gesture that recognizes the legitimacy of the State of Israel. Israel says its capital is in Jerusalem but most countries in the world will not acknowledge that fact and, instead, say it is an international city not belonging to Israel. Therefore, if the US acknowledges it as the capital it is taking Israel’s position over the rest of the world. It is largely symbolic and no real chiddush but it will rile Israel’s critics and could be used as an excuse to disrupt the peace.

GO TRUMP!!!!

The UN doesn’t recognize Jerusalem as part of Israel. By moving the American embassy to Jerusalem Trump acknowledges Jerusalem as the legal capital of Israel.

violence?
December 5, 2017 2:25 pm

That is such an islamophobic thing to say. Everyone knows Islam is the religion of peace and they would never even think of such a thing

Seems like a silly reason to go to war and if it means fanning the fires in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world, one wonders why this is worth it? Do we really need the US to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital? Violence of any kind is bad. And it is a shame that some commentators think some bit of symbolism is worth the price of cracking a few heads.

Just the opposite..punkt farkert
December 5, 2017 12:01 pm

by moving the embassy to Jerusalem the president will be increasing the peace. Don’t be fooled by the threats MR President, its time the Ishmaelites understand there is only one place and one capital for the jews and that’s Israel and Jerusalem. If they complain just ask any of them to show you Jerusalem or Al Quds mentioned even ONCE in the Koran !! Its not there !! Enough of the lies.

We must believe what the Rebbe taught : that living in fear of the Arabs actually gives THEM more power. But we must pray for our brothers & sisters in Israel both soldiers & civilians because every Jewish life is precious !

Afraid of violence?
December 5, 2017 11:00 am

Just an excuse. When Israel was born, there were big wars for decades! Now – not that there is complete peace, but the big battles (e.g. wars with the surrounding countries) are, so far, a thing of the past.
Will the embassy move to Yerushalayim bring war? I don’t think a major one. But whatever enmity this will engender, the negative fallout from that should be short-lived.

This is wonderful news, although undoubtedly there will be some sort of war. But with the Rebbe’s brachot & our safe rooms, I, at least, am not afraid…. except for our soldiers.

G-d bless our President!
December 5, 2017 10:42 am

G-d bless the President of the United States for having the courage to make this move! Chazak U Baruch!

WHEN?!
December 5, 2017 10:42 am

He did not say the time and date WHEN this will actually take place!!
