He also for the first time personally endorsed the concept of a 'two-state solution' for Israel and the Palestinians, provided both sides agree to it.
"I have determined that it is time to officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel," he said in a White House address, calling it 'overdue' and in the best interests of the United States. He said recognition acknowledged the 'obvious' that Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's government despite the disputed status that is one of the key elements in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Satyendra N Dhanda11251 Satyendra N Dhanda-8 hours ago Muslims are very primitive in thinking just like Dogs and pigs, where ever they pee they consider as there territory and they guard that place very furiously. Similarly, Mohamadian where ever Prophet peed hey consider it as the holiest place of Islam.Muslims should have stayed within the boundary of Saudi Barbaria then there would be no conflict with non-believers
There is no “risk” of antiAmerican violence or riots and such. Those things are a daily reality of the last 69 years in Israel’s neighborhood.
Had hoped to see an Indian government reaction.
May have missed it, but didn’t see it.
I’d like to see nations around the world follow suit.
India is tight with Israel. They do a lot of military-to-military cooperation.
Once again The President changes the narrative, blows up the status quo, rearranges the furniture. That takes courage. He is the ultimate disruptor. We keep hearing the sound of jaws hitting the floor.
President Trump, when I am I going to get tired of winning, as you promised?
Goa is a second home to many young Israeli’s.
Good for Jerusalem!
India has plenty of first hand experience of Islamic madness and brutality. I predict they will be joining the move after the usual cockroaches simmer down.
If Pakistan & India ever goes to war India has a huge advantage in every respect. India should reclaim back that land as they need the space for their growing population. Pakistans people meanwhile just simply blow up!
