Diplomat has already called it the kiss of death for the two state solution and. Time magazine makes the silas breakers of the me too movement its person of the year will speak to our social media editor about the thousands of women who denounced sexual predators in all walks of life. Thank you very much for your company the International Community is waiting with bated breath to hear if u. S. President donald trump will follow through on a Campaign Promise and announce that he will move americas embassy in israel to jerusalem recognizing the city as the capital of the jewish state its a major change in american policy elementis move one that the palestinians and arab states say could threaten the middle east Peace Process on palestinian diplomat us call that the kiss of death for the proposed two state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict. Israel long ago declared jerusalem as its attorney capital but the rest of the world never recognized the move and to date no major countries have an embassy in the ancient city Donald Trumps decision would change that and could have an explosive effect on the region not least because the palestinians insist that East Jerusalem must be their capital if a two state solution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict is to become a reality. And. The position of. The vatican and if. This is going to move. This is. This is this would be acceptable. If this. Would complicate things. Maybe it would be the end of the Peace Process other leaders promptly echoed that warning. Mr trump drew is the red line for muslims. In cairo the head of the arab league said moving the u. S. Embassy would be an unnecessary provocation to the arab world the kings of saudi arabia and jordan both criticize the move as did iraqi Prime Minister i dare a body. That has had that im sure the Iraqi Government warns of the consequences of this decision on the stability of the area and of the world it ignores the rights of palestinians and arabs and muslims alike. What. The United States appears to recognize that trumps announcement may trigger unrest in the mideast the state department has ordered its consulate personnel in israel not to conduct personal travel in jerusalems old city or the west bank. R. L. For more and now im joined by a shiny resign a say mideast expert would be w who has reported on the conflict for more than a decade shania thank you so much for coming and were talking about moving an embassy why is this controversial well you can say it just changing the sign because there is a consulate there but of course its march more than that our region is all about symbolism pragmatism is many many times set aside for the sake of symbolism and jerusalem is the biggest symbol of all its the holiest city holy for jews for muslim for christians for for jews of course its the holiest place believing the western wall is there is left you know israel is the last remaining monument from what used to be the jewish temple there many years ago it is the to the muslims as the in the mosque making tourism the third holiest city for muslim that of course is the these are all great ingredients for a very hot boiling pot that we have here and changing the status quo which is always very delicate middle east thats the problem before we Start Talking about the fact that jerusalem is a sacred site for these three monolithic legends what has been the position up to now of the International Community he said the jerusalem the status of jerusalem well so far the americans and International Community were very much you know side by side in this voiding the formal recognition of israel as the capital even though its been one up until one hundred seventy the western part but following the six days war is also the eastern part of jerusalem they have refrained from making bringing any of the embassies to israel some of them have consulates only there some have none and this will mean a whole break in tradition so far and the american seems to be the only one breaking away weve seen germany against it weve seen britain against it of course the world is against it are they against it though well again because the status quo is the holiest thing its so fragile its so delicate this change might end up causing casualties in great you know a great escalation we dont know. This is heading we dont know exactly what trump will be saying this is also part of the problem now were speculating and every word will count in that speech so this is part of the of the problem and many International Community leaders have always seemed to boost a limb as it as a token as a bargaining chip to use in the negotiations candy in order to sweeten the deal that israel and palestine will one day eventually hopefully will sign and so losing that ace is also you know quite a quite quite a maybe a disadvantage when you try to move out of you know on his house side why would you come to the negotiating table if you take the prize off the table lets talk about jerusalem as the sacred site of Jews Christians and muslims the pope has weighed in already i suggest we listen to what he said earlier you know me up and here. Thoughts now go to jerusalem rewarded in this regard i cannot keep silent about my deep concern over the situation that has a risen in recent days. And this at the same time a heartfelt appeal so that everyone would be committed to respecting the status quo of the city. In accordance with the relevant resolutions of the united nations. The pope much of the International Community wants the status quo to remain in place what with this meeting if the u. S. If donald trump decides to move in that symbolic move the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem recognizing jerusalem as the capital the jewish state what they do to the Peace Process between the israelis and the palestinians. Youre shaking a both theres already shaken you know its hard to know what the implications are also wanted when it comes to the Peace Process theres not much going on trump says there is a lot of negotiations working back gentles having the saudis on board and so on we dont know much on that questionnaire himself his brother and his son in law was referring to that this week and saying he believes there is hope but chances are with a united front from the arab world this will be a kiss of death as as i know some palestinians leaders have said to the to the peace negotiation its hard to see how come come back with that without a very specific plan you might have some aces in the in his sleeve we dont know yet now it will have to wait and see were waiting with bated breath because this would be women just think you so much the center is an assert for wing and greatly appreciated thank you.
