More than 50 Palestinians have been hurt against a US decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital. No doubt, the status of Jerusalem is one of the thorniest issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. What US President Donald Trump has done is nothing but an act of adding fuel to fire. That he is a thug of the highest order is a fact that could be discerned from his argument that "delaying the recognition of Jerusalem as the capital has not helped achieve peace over the past two decades".
His decision has sparked anger and protests throughout the occupied Palestinian territories, and drawn international condemnation from world leaders. Accepting Jerusalem as Israel's capital constitutes another 'nakba' or 'catastrophe' (the Zionists uprooted in 1948 700,000 from their homes, creating a refugee crisis that is not still resolved) in the history of the Israel-Palestinian conflict.
