Rice semias the cap jerusalem as the capital of israel. As weijia jiang reports critics warn the declaration will have dangerous consequences in the middle east. Reporter President Trump is set to announce the u. S. Will recognize jerusalem as israels capital and plans to move the u. S. Embassy there. It is considered a holy city by jew, muslims and christians. And the announcement is expected to set off a wave of potential violence in the region. [ chanting ] some groups have already called for protests and three days of rage. As the precaution, the state department issued an alert saying u. S. Government employees and their families are not permitted to travel to the old city of jerusalem and the west bank until further notice. It fulfills a Campaign Promise for President Trump and is popular among evangelical christians and hard line supporters of isra but worldwide leaders are lining up in opposition to the decision. The president spoke with middle eastern leaders yesterday to prepare them for the announcement. And four of the leaders warned the president against making the move. Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas said the decision would have detrimental consequences on the Peace Process. The president has had his son inlaw and White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner working on the Peace Process in the middle east. But todays announcement will make that goal harder. Weijia jiang, cbs news, the white house. The arab league announced it will hold an emergency meeting this saturday on jerusalem. It was requested by the palestinians and jordan. Now heres some Background Information on just how we got to this point. In 1917 the british captured jerusalem in world war i. In 1948, the state of israel was created dividing jerusalem between israel and jordan. And East Jerusalem and immediately annexed it granting arab palestinian residents permanent resident status but not citizenship. And as expected, reaction is mixed on social media. Hassan tweets trump is declaring war on palestinians. Jerusalem is not yours to give and never was, never will be. Zionist occupiers to possess. Its our eternal capital because its part of our land. Meanwhile jewish lady tweets moving the embassy is jerusalem is the best thing we can do to support israel and ensure the capital will never be divided. This makes me so happy.
