German Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel on Tuesday warned the US about the dangers of moving the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“Recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel does not calm a conflict; rather, it fuels it even more,” Gabriel said. “It’s in everyone’s interest that this does not happen.”
Despite widespread international opposition to the move, Trump is expected to recognize the city as Israel’s capital on Wednesday. A senior administration official speaking on the condition of anonymity told AFP news agency that the president would make the announcement during a speech slated for 1 p.m. local time (1800 UTC). But Trump will reportedly also sign a legal waiver that would delay moving the embassy by another six months. […]
In Europe, the US proposal has been met with skepticism and warnings. French President Emmanuel Macron said on Tuesday that he reminded Trump that the status of Jerusalem should be determined during negotiations for a two-state solution.

Deutschland kän gö füch zein zelfs.
Do the Germans have no shame?
Agreed. Doesn’t stop the mussie lover from spouting off
Have the Saudis signed off on this?
Excellent point(s). Germany should have embraced Jews, who gave so much intellectual thinking and wonders to the West. Instead, they burned them. Now they embrace muslims, and the muslims are burning the Germans.

“Who cares”?
Well, I dunno; after all it’s only the cradle (and half) of Western civilization, which is just about the only civilized civilization there is.
If they get frisky it’ll be their third strike..

Seems to me that after WWII, the Krauts should STFU!
You must mean Frau Farbisina!
Didn’t Hitler say something about Jews existing similar to “It’s in everybody’s interest that this does not happen”?
There is no need for the creation of another state to bring peace to the situation. That’s just been another ploy to continue whittling away at the idea that Israel is a sovereign country. They’ve been portrayed and accused of being a bully as well as land-stealing murderers for decades.

Jerusalem is Israel’s Capital and should be recognized as such. Germany and the other budding members of the Islamic caliphate should address their own issues of land for peace and shut their mouths about Israel.

Very nicely played
If something doesn’t change we are going to end up entangled in another war in Europe.
This time we’ll be fighting Germanistan.
They best not get frisky...
World, Jerusalem IS the Capital of Israel, deal with it.
You forgot the < mic drop> after that.
That just nails it.
