US President Donald Trump’s announcement of recognition for Jerusalem as the capital of Israel will intensify anger against Israel in Palestine and across the Arab world, Dr. Waleed AlModallal, Head of the Department of Economics and Political Science at the Islamic University of Gaza, told Radio Sputnik.
On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump declared recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and ordered the Department of State to take measures for the relocation of the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. However, he did sign a waiver to delay the relocation by six months, something all US presidents have signed every six months since the Jerusalem Embassy Act was passed in 1995.
The move is opposed by governments all over the world who fear that the move will result in more Middle Eastern conflict. Dr. Waleed AlModallal, Head of the Department of Economics and Political Science at the Islamic University of Gaza, told Radio Sputnik that Trump’s announcement has aroused a lot of anger in Palestine and elsewhere.
“There is a big anger in Palestine, Arab countries, the Islamic countries as well, among the supporters of the Palestinian issue. This action, which contradicts the international resolution, will launch a very big Intifada in the Palestinian territories,” AlModallal said.
