“Trump opened hellgate” Hamas ' Dangerous Warning

The organisation has declared shortly after this decision that Trump with the company of this step “has opened the gate of hell”.

US President Donald Trump declared Jerusalem the capital of Israel, pointing to a new approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In addition, Trump has also indicated that the US will transfer the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, but that the US still supports “two state solutions”.

Based on the UN plan in 1947, the division of Palestine is projected in three entities: the Jewish state and an Arab state, and that Jerusalem should be a “corpus separatum” (special body, entity), under a separate international regime.

The plan was accepted by Zionist leaders, but Arab leaders opposed it.

After completing the mandate of Great Britain over Palestine, Israel declared independence in May 1948, with western Jerusalem as its capital, and eastern Jerusalem was controlled by Jordan.

Israel took the eastern part of Jerusalem to the six - day war in 1967. On the basis of the 1980 law, Jerusalem became Israel's capital “for life”.

The Palestinian authority, however, intends to declare East Jerusalem the capital of their future state, independent Palestine, which would include the West Coast and the Gaza Strip.

The US Congress in 1995 approved “Act for the Jerusalem Embassy” through which it invites its government to move the embassy to Jerusalem, the capital of the state of Israel.

The law is mandatory, but there is a clause allowing American presidents to postpone its application for a year and a half.

Bill Clinton, Georg Bush of Jr. and Barack Obama systematically postponed the decision to shift every six months. /kp
