webfact Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Netanyahu in hot water over US embassy and wall Catherine Hardy JERUSAELM: -- The Israeli Prime Minister has voiced his support for moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem. Benjamin Netanyahu spoke up after the head of the Republicans Overseas Israel Branch gave an interview to the Haaretz newspaper in which he said new US President Donald Trump was “proceeding cautiously because of concerns raised by Israeli officials.” Trump and Netanyahu are due to meet in Washington early next month. What Netanyahu said “I want to take the opportunity to make it unequivocally clear that our position has always been, and remains so now and at all times, that the US embassy should be here, in Jerusalem.” “Jerusalem is Israel’s capital and it is right and proper that all of the foreign embassies, and not only the American embassy, move here. I believe that, in time, most of them will come to Jerusalem.” However, Israeli officials have said they do not want a US embassy move rushed. Political commentators have noted that its relocation would damage the stronger relations Israel has been quietly building with the Sunni Muslim world. What Trump said Trump’s team spoke often during the recent US presidential campaign about shifting the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The city is Israel’s self-proclaimed capital and a holy city at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, a week ago, Trump’s press secretary Sean Spicer lowered expectations of an imminent announcement. What the Palestinians say The move would spark anger in the Arab world. Palestinian officials say relocating the embassy would kill off any prospects for peace. The Palestinians want East Jerusalem – which Israel captured in a 1967 war and annexed in a move not recognised internationally – to be the capital of a state they seek to create in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip. What the international community says The international community says Jerusalem’s final status should be determined via direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Talks collapsed in 2014. Are there any embassies in Jerusalem? Not currently, no. Costa Rica and El Salvador were there until a few years ago, but they are now in Tel Aviv. Tweet controversy Netanyahu sent a tweet in support of President Donald Trump’s plan to build a wall along the US border with Mexico. It was retweeted 40,000 times. There has been a backlash at home and abroad. The tweet was sent from his personal account shortly before the Jewish sabbath officially ended on Saturday. “President Trump is right. I built a wall along Israel’s southern border. It stopped all illegal immigration. Great success. Great idea.” Netanyahu was referring to a steel fence Israel has built along its border with Egypt. It is meant to keep out migrants fleeing conflicts in Africa, including Somalis, Sudanese and Eritreans. -- © Copyright Euronews 2017-01-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezzra Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Jerusalem is not mentioned EVEN ONCE in the Quran, while it is mentioned over 400 times in the Holly bible, The Palestinians are so full of themselves that they will not even consider the possibility of a future Jerusalem being the capitol city of two nations....

If you take any hundres of years old religious papers as an evidence you can at the same time call "war". Some people will never learn. Middle age attitudes of religious wars should be over in all parts of the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli42 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 The move seems unnecessarily inflammatory. What positive outcome does this achieve? The US is clearly the worlds staunchest supporter of Israel, a fact known by all. Moving the embassy to Jerusalem will of course upset the Arab world and what benefit it provides to the US is beyond me. It certainly will geenerate more Arab and Muslim animosity toward the US. Does the great satan really need more of that for zero gain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even many israelis don't agree with the embassy move, its just political and makes it super inconvenient and will cause more problems in the future.

I believe that there have been more than 2000 religions in the history of humankind, and even today, there are about 200 active gods around. Even though most of them are extremely wise and powerful, none of them seems to be able to bring peace to us...

farcanell Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) Mohamed... a warlord / prophet sent to expand Islam, saw Jerusalem, at the far reaches of his "influence" , and what... laid fair claim to it?. Ok... whatever, but their holy city is Mecca... mohammeds birthplace....unattainable to non Muslims. jeruselum, christs birthplace....is meanwhile the christians holy city, hundreds of years before the rise of a new religion called Islam... but open to all, even Muslims, even if it is a Johnny come lately adherence to a god but now they want two holy cities... ease up, ones enough, unless it impedes military expansionism.... obvious really.

Yawn, not this troll bait yet again. And not all Palestinians who support a separate state are Muslims either - some are Christians. Just like some members of the Israeli armed forces are Muslim - oh, you did not know? Hmmm. Things in that part of the world are a little more complex than why a city was or was not mentioned in eh Quran. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 You'd think wonderboy would keep his gob shut and not turn the ire of an inflamed muslim world in his country's direction. But the repulsive individual can't help himself, and of course Trump put his foot in his mouth bringing it up to get the Jewish vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Israel has various Political parties, i.e. an opposition , and they also have regular elections, which makes Israels Likud, NOT a fascist Government Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
