Donald Trump Causes Global Confusion As He Moves To Recognise Jerusalem As Israel’s Capital
There seems to be global confusion and anxiety following a move by President Donald Trump of the United States to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
This move, which has been confirmed by the White House, could hurt Palestine and cause anger among its supporters across the world.
The Independent reports that Trump is making this consideration the same time he is also thinking of moving the US embassy in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem too.
The report further said his decision could reverse the precedent established by his predecessors. According to the report, if Trump decides to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, “it is widely believed that it could imperil current relationships in the region and damage the president’s chances at brokering a peace deal between Israel and Palestine.
“Instead, the recognition could trigger Palestinian protests, while shelving the long-stalled peace process there.”
The report adds that US embassies overseas have started informing their envoys of the plan so that the host governments can prepare for a possible protest.
“The United Nations and the European Union have both proposed or recognized Jerusalem as something of an international site, given its deep history that includes several religious legacies. The United States has historically supported establishing an international regime for the city as well.
“The primary dispute over Jerusalem’s status revolves around East Jerusalem, which has been disputed since the 1967 Six-Day War when Israel drove Jordan out of the area.
“Palestinians have argued that East Jerusalem should stand as their capital for a future independent state. Israel says that all of Jerusalem belongs to them.
“There are currently about 200,000 Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem, and 370,000 Palestinians there as well.
“All told, more than 600,000 Jews live in nearly 140 settlements in East Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank. Those settlements are considered illegal under international law, a consideration that Israel disputes,” the report said.

Jerusalem, my happy home,
when shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys, when shall I see?
O happy harbor of the saints,
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
no grief, no care, no toil.
Thy saints are crowned with glory great;
they see God face to face;
they triumph still, they still rejoice:
most happy is their case.
Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
God grant that I may see
thine endless joy, and of the same
partaker ever be!

There is nothing to confuse the globe. Every discerning human knows the truth about the Jerusalem being the capital city of Israel. Does it occur to you that the enemies of God and Peace wants to reduce the city of God on earth to nothing? They have been working assiddously to actuallize that singular mission since the ages. God forbids evil! God bless Donald J Trump. Peace be with Israel!

And that’s a global confusion to you in Nigeria?. Is it because the bible talked about Jerusalem as the capital of Israel that made it difficult for Nigeria to come out of confusion? Abeg, concentrate and push forward articles that are objective and help build Nigeria and Nigerians now.

Whoever doubt Jerualem as an Israeli Land is making great mistake. Trace it from the Holy Bible. It is not man made but God. Going by the law book, the palestine will have place to occupire. Start from Negev you get Beersheba, Hebron, Bethlehem then Jerusalem, Jericho, shechem, Tel Aviv, Joppa by left up after Shechem, Nazareth and Tiberas Dan just to mention but a few. Coming to world history, trace what happened from 1948 or before then who actually or Countries tha was in charge and why (2) the battles for freedom/ to regain lost territories. That Israel delayed was as a result of World Politics, UNO to maintain peace declayed JERUSALEM, World property. All this, is to calm both sides. Go and reclaim your property. Why North and West?

Truth is bitter! Jerusalem has been the eternal capital of Israel; Trump is merely restating the obvious, and he has the backing of The God of Jacob!
The Anti-Christ Obama did his level best to frustrate Israel and empower the terrorist Arabs indirectly with multimillion dollar funds for developing ballistic weapons, but the God of Heaven and Earth overthrew Obama and installed Trump to restore Godliness in America and put the records straight in the middle east!
