The comment ignore the one positive consequence of Trump's Executive Order: It buried the unworkable two-state solution forever.
And enabled a MORE workable one-state solution ? Those of you who criticize the idea of two states never articulate a workable alternative
Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is not coming as a surprise for keen observers of U.S policy toward the Israeli-Palestinian impasse. it has been the practice with America's politicians for more than two decades. Donald Trump's unilateral announcement means a complete nullification of the camp David accord and a return to the days of daily Palestinian uprising. certainly Donald Trump is not a neutral peace broker between Israel and Palestine
