S. President donald trump has been widely condemned for officially recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel palestinian leaders are calling for three days of rage others warn washington will no longer be trusted as a mediator White House Correspondent kimberly begins our coverage. More than twenty years ago the u. S. Congress recognized jerusalem as israels capital with that the relocation of the u. S. Embassy there from tel aviv but every u. S. President since bill clinton has blocked it from happening until now i have determined. That it is time to officially recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel its an historic Foreign Policy term for the United States that the white house says reflects a political reality given jerusalem is the seat of the Israeli Government trump denies this will harm ongoing u. S. Peace efforts we are not taking a position of any final status issues including the specific boundaries of the israeli sovereignty in jerusalem or the resolution of contested borders. Those questions are up to the parties involved many people overseas and in washington disagree and have warned the us president not to break with decades of historical precedents the way its painted perceived in the region particularly by the by the hour a publix is going to be problematic for the United States and will raise further questions about whether the whether or not the United States can be an honest broker in working out an arrangement between israel and the palestinians many people argue this has little to do with peace or security but instead is about boosting the political standing of a beleaguered american president for months the Trump Administration has been dealing with the impact of a scandal thats seen former Trump Officials criminally charged god bless israel god bless the palestinians so the jerusalem announcement breaking decades of protocol allows trump to keep a Campaign Promise and refocus attention on his policies he won the election not in washington he won it in wisconsin and michigan and places like that and what he said was the problem is with washington and if he didnt do this he would becoming part of washington and so therefore his own base not not on this issue but on keeping your word is important. But white house officials admit it could be years before the embassy moves which virtually insurers this will be an issue in the next president ial election Kimberley Health kit aljazeera washington now israels Prime MinisterBinyamin Netanyahu is hailed the move calling it a historic day for israel the president s decision is an important step towards peace for there is no peace that doesnt include jerusalem as the capital of the state of israel. I call on all countries that seek. To join the United States in recognizing jerusalem as israels capital and to move their embassies here i share President Trumps commitment to advancing peace between israel and all of our neighbors including the palestinians this is been our goal from israels first day and we will continue to work with the president and his team to make that dream of peace come true. The palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas is rejecting and condemning the move by the u. S. You are. My Palestinian People we are going through very difficult times after the decision made by the u. S. Administration regarding jerusalem they have chosen to contradict all International Resolutions and ignore all International Positions which have been expressed by many other countries and leaders over the last few days all the efforts towards peace have been ignored this is a reward to israel and a further encourages the occupation of the state of palestine have been protests throughout the middle east against trumps decision demonstrations took place in jordan lebanon and gaza palestinians waved flags and banners proclaiming jerusalem as our eternal capital announced the move by the u. S. And trumps announcement has sparked anger in americas nato ally turkey a crowd of protesters gathered outside the u. S. Embassy in ankara president. Warned the decision would cause public on arrest right across the muslim world. Protecting the current status of jerusalem is very important and it is important that the islamic world unites and acts as one. Any attempt to change the legal status of jerusalem should be avoided no one has the right to play with the fate of millions of people such a move would only help to promote the ill and tensions of the terrorist organization. The un secretary general is among the International Leaders who have reacted to trumps announcement and turn of the terrorist stressed there is no alternative to a two state solution with jerusalem as the capital of both israel and palestine mike hanna reports from the u. N. Now. Half an hour after President Trumpet spoke in the u. N. Secretary general restated what position on jerusalem for decades i have consistently spoken out against. Measures that would jeopardize the prospect of peace for israelis and palestinians. Jerusalem ease a final status issue. That must be resolved through direct negotiations between the two parties on the basis of the Relevant Security Council and General Assembly resolutions taking into account the legitimate concerns of both the palestinian and israeli sides a number of other leaders have backed the un position among them pope francis released a statement calling on all to respect to roost lim status quo based as he put it on the pertinent United Nations resolution criticism of President Trumps decision coming to from the president of france this is. This is a regrettable decision that france does not approve of and which goes against International Law and all the u. N. Security Council Resolutions and the british Prime Minister theresa may said the following we disagree with the u. S. Decision to move its embassy to jerusalem and recognize jerusalem as the israeli capital before a final Status Agreement we believe that is unhelpful in terms of prospects for peace in the region the British Embassy to israel is based in tel aviv and we have no plans to move it back at the un even before President Trump made his announcement the bolivian ambassador said he would call an emergency meeting of the Security Council. Reckless and dangerous decision to go against International Law the resolutions of the Security Council. We can see you have a force for peace in the region and also upsets the whole. Region and later in the day bolivia was joined by a number of other countries calling for an emergency Security Council meeting including egypt france and the u. K. However waiting in the chamber will be the u. S. Veto mike hanna arjen sierra United Nations. Well u. S. President dan trump has been talking about yemen too hes called on saudi arabia to end its blockade immediately is a portion of his statement he said i have directed officials in my administration to call the leadership of the kingdom of saudi arabia to request they completely allow fuel water and medicine to reach the yemeni people who desperately need it the u. S. Has backed the Saudi Led Coalition in its fight against two three rebel since two thousand and fifteen thousands of people have died in the war there thousands more are facing starvation and famine in the crown prince of abu dhabi is met with the son of yemen slain alstad president Ali Abdullah Saleh mohammed desired offered his condolences to the has been under house arrest in the u. A. E. Since his father made an alliance with the hope these in two thousand and fourteen the u. A. E. Is part of the saudi low coalition that joined the yemen war in two thousand and fifteen to expel the hoa fees from santa who fighters killed earlier on monday after he announced he would talk with the coalition who is a professor of. Fessor of islam the university of notre dame he joins us on skype now from south bend indiana good to have you with us do you see this as a change of u. S. Policy or is this simply trying to position on humanitarian aid. It seems that you know we one cant question where the president have been moved by the light on yemeni people seeing that the car incident on the very day that he makes them feel sorry and things that entered announcement of recognizing ojukwu some of israels capital as an afterthought and scenes and hours later he thought of our the blockade of yemen and. Administration after assad leaves the coincidence of peace to the citizens are quite responsive this time seeing so i guess you dont read into that and theyll be for example of a different posture u. S. Pasta and it comes to the issue of supplying weapons to the coalition which is something thats been going on for a while in the conflict thanks to the u. S. In the Army Saudi Arabia and was to go and seen as the as a proxy war between saudi arabia and the iranian supported with the rebels and so on this very day of significant announcement it seems that it sounds like the kind of the diplomatic rock wall and perhaps the thinking in the white house was to rearm dont were all kind of in our anger about the use of the solution so close something we dont of the humanitarian blockade of yemen and the other stop rising parties that yesterday president grant spoke to king some outside the arabia. That you do some decision in which he was clearly a caution backing salmaan not to do so but a yes he did not raise the question of the young they with the king when he spoke in this with them well the saudis listen to this play from trumpet was very direct wasnt it. No direct but you know this is such a major issue several months ago present some very strongly and vocally supportive of the saudi engagement in yemen clarine that iran has to be stopped that pass and then weaponize saudi arabia to the teeth and going to so its very difficult to see how the saudis are going to change course are on the say so of a president. And you know now clearly the humanitarian blockade aid organizations and the u. N. Have been qualified for the looking out of a cave for four weeks now and so clearly this coming at this hour will be a relief for the yemeni people and one should not discount that but im not entirely sure that this is going to a lot of peace but it will be lethal to the thousands and millions of the only people who are suffering under this lucky and of this. War and the this you know in many ways reckless killing of civilians and the shortage of food and water and medicine also seen m r r t officials meeting with adam and Ali Abdullah Saleh is it being groomed do you think to take over from his fathers position. Well it seems that one of the reasons as santley would show that hes father opened a conversation with the song while. That was wired to get he sang in that position that lots of the supporters said and there was not turning against the whole of these but i think this is possible and assange has already you know announced that you know vengeance fathers death and that the that there will be a vendetta war some time and so again i think we are not very close to peace in yemen yet one must feel that the yemeni people have that the end of the food and humanitarian blockade that will bring that leave but im not sure that announcing a new leader when theyre being relieved that the only people the only way forward in yemen are all parties to sew them together and search for a way forward to a lasting and durable peace in yemen and to be living there compu for many many many months now in years thanks for your analysis on that her him most are still ahead on aljazeera dangerous wildfires once again threaten california and homes and businesses voters in nepal hope to use the ballot box to force change after a devastating earthquake two and a half years ago.
