I hope that Trump announces before Passover on Monday night.

The Haggadah the book that is read on Passover at Seders ends with "Next year in Jerusalem" Trump could make that a reality on the ground

[MarvinStinson]

Trump is too busy acting as the air force for ISIS.

Interesting. Any comment from the Iranians? The fakenews told me that Russia was aligned with them.

[Fhios]

Whoa. The Palestinians [Jordan Refugees] are being thrown under the bus.

Or is Russia stirring up trouble knowing that the U.S will bare the brunt of the anger?

That’s a big Event in the year for my Jewish friends on the board.

Peace and God be with you :)

Whoa Nelly! This is a game changer. Especially on the UN Security Council. The change up - and the pitch!

[glock rocks]

President Trump already committed to moving our embassy to Jersulam, did he not?

[piasa]

The reason that he hasn’t done so is probably because the Jordanian King counseled that it would make life very difficult for him; Jordan’s overloaded with Syrian refugees, not to mention the usual Palestinians ... and it’s fighting a war- it’s a tinderbox that could easily be set off.

“We reaffirm our commitment to the UN-approved principles for a Palestinian-Israeli settlement, which include the status of East Jerusalem as the capital of the future Palestinian state,” the ministry said.

“At the same time, we must state that in this context we view West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.”

IIRC, there were 13 embassies in Jerusalem at one time.

Notice how careful Putin is to distinguish East and West Jerusalem. For Israel, there is only one united Jerusalem. So this announcement soesn’t change much.

Hmmmm

Winning.

[plain talk]

Russia’s unexpected announcement recognizing Israel’s eternal capital of Jerusalem, a dramatic decision that places Vladimir Putin against Donald Trump

Say what? Trump's agenda includes recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital. At least that is what he said on the campaign trail. I believe Putin is aligned with Trump on this issue.

[SkyDancer]

“le-shanah ha-ba’ah bi-Yerushalayim,”

[Right_in_Virginia]

The title is a bit misleading. Russia recognized EAST Jerusalem as Israel's capitol ...

[Enlightened1]

Boom!

[AppyPappy]

The anti-semite crowd’s head just exploded.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Sorry.,I had it backwards, Russia recognizes WESTERN Jerusalem

Russia recognizes western Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, eastern Jerusalem for Palestinian state
