President Trump stirred controversy on Wednesday (December 6), naming Jerusalem the capital of Israel, which sparked protests all across the Middle East. He then ordered the U.S. Embassy to move from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Top officials in Palestine claim that President Trump's decision will garner calls for holy wars, adding that the decision undermines the U.S. as a judge in the peace process.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas spoke out against Trump's decision in a televised address, "These procedures do also help in the extremist organizations to wage a religious war that would harm the entire region, which is going through critical moments and would lead us into wars that will never end, which we have warned about and always urged to fight against."
