Trump officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel
The President of the United States Donald trump announced the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital. "I decided that now is the time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," said the U.S leader, speaking in a special address.
So Trump has fulfilled a campaign promise. According to him, more than 20 years, every President refused to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem or to recognize it as the capital of Israel. They, according to the US President, believed that this step would be detrimental to the peace process.
Trump said that since then Israel and Palestine no closer to peace. "It would be foolish to assume that following a similar formula to achieve the best results," he added.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu thanked Trump for "a brave and fair decision." The Prime Minister called the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of the "important step to peace" and vowed to maintain the status quo of the Holy places in the city.
The decision Trump prior to his announcement condemned in the Palestinian national authority, and in other States. The President of the Palestinian national authority Mahmoud Abbas during a telephone conversation warned the US President about the serious consequences of the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel for peace, security and stability in the region and the world.
Palestinian Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Basem al-Agha told RIA Novosti that Abbas intends to gather to discuss issues of Jerusalem, the leaders of the first Arab countries and then other Muslim countries.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the Republic, after the decision of Washington to break with Israel diplomatic relations.
The head of EU diplomacy Federica Mogherini urged the international community restrained response to the U.S. decision.
Israel considers Jerusalem its "United and indivisible" capital, including its Eastern areas and the historic centre, captured from Jordan in the six day war.
The world does not recognize the annexation and considers the status of the city one of the biggest problems of the middle East conflict which should be solved on the basis of an agreement with the Palestinians claiming the Eastern part of Jerusalem. Because of this, all foreign embassies are located in tel Aviv.
The U.S. Congress in 1995 passed a law on the transfer of the Embassy in Israel from tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but the execution of the decision was delayed all the time.
