A tale of two cities: How the US made ‘undivided Jerusalem’ into twin capitals


(Worthy News) – US President Donald Trump confused many people Tuesday by appearing to contradict himself during the part of his speech concerning the status of Jerusalem under his administration’s peace plan.

On the one hand, Trump said Jerusalem will remain Israel’s “undivided capital,” stressing the word “undivided.” But he also said the capital of the Palestinian state would be “in eastern Jerusalem” which appears to indicate the city will be divided between the two states after all.

The actual plan tries to reconcile those two statements. It says the Jerusalem section of the security barrier Israel constructed during the Second Intifada to stop rampant Palestinian terror attacks will become the border between the two states. [ Source: Times of Israel (Read More…) ]
