Iran votes to declare Jerusalem 'capital of Palestine'

Iran declared Jerusalem the "capital of Palestine" on Wednesday following a parliamentary vote, according to the country's semi-official Fars news agency.

Iran's announcement to recognize the holy city as the “Palestinian capital forever” comes in direct response to President Trump's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

“It comes in response to the recent U.S. decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in hopes of dealing a blow to Muslims,” said Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, according to Turkey's Anadolu news agency.

East Jerusalem always was the “de facto” capital of whatever passes for Palestine, more a mishmash of various tribal affiliations than in any way a nation-state.

Nothing has PREVENTED the “Palestinians” from declaring themselves to be a nation, other than their own internecine conflicts and petty jealousies between factions, and an unwillingness to come to some concrete proposals other than “drive the Jews into the sea”.

"Iran votes to declare Jerusalem 'capital of Palestine'"

Israel should declare Palestine to be "North-East Israel".

Then declare Iran is "Future Expanded Israel".

Iran loves “Palestinians”, and would love to see a massive influx of them.
