    Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas adviser Mahmoud Habash says Saturday if President Donald Trump were to do so it would amount to a “complete destruction of the peace process.”

    Speaking in Abbas’ presence, Habash said “the world will pay the price” for any change in Jerusalem’s status.

    Officials in Washington say Trump is considering recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital as a way to offset his likely decision to delay his campaign promise of moving the U.S. embassy there.

    Israel regards Jerusalem as its capital, a position nearly the entire world rejects saying its status should be determined in peace talks with the Palestinians. The Palestinians claim the eastern part of the city as their future capital.

    So the Americans are about to give the Israelis something they want. What are the Israelis giving to the Americans?

    Who do they think they are, “warning” the U.S.? For their audacity alone, we should not give in to even the smallest of their demands or requests.

    I would have thought Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE, Egypt and Jordan are all US allies. Shows you what I know.

    Israels holy city is not a political entity. It will be a too steep price to pay. Jews cannot foot the bill for the Israeli political agendas. The Zionists dont give a hoot of what this act can bring on as long as they’re dream is realized and are trying to pressure Trump into it.
    G D forbid the repercussions will be too far and too wide. Trump thinks hes a oihev yisroel for doing it. All filthy Zionist propaganda. It has to stop now.
