Trump’ın thırd year of the jerusalem decısıon

Donald Trump announced on December 6, 2017 that he officially recognized Jerusalem as the "capital of Israel" and that the American Embassy in Tel Aviv will move to Jerusalem. Trump called this step "a belated decision" in his statement. Referring to the "Jerusalem Law" of 1995 in his statement, Trump reminded that at that time the United States had recommended to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Trump said, "For more than 20 years, all the presidents have postponed the implementation of this law and have cited their peace efforts as a reason. After this period, we are now closer to a lasting peace between Israel and Palestine than before. It is time to recognize it as the capital city, "he said. Trump fulfilled the demands of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, but without a clear political return undermined the US "credibility" and the prospect of peace tied to the White House. Breaking the basic rules of political realism, Trump's decision of "Jerusalem" by activating the "American self-interest" approach inherited from the "Republican" political philosophy caused a great reaction in the international community. With Trump's decision on Jerusalem, the dreams of peace in the Middle East were destroyed, as well as the "mediation" role of the United States in peace talks. Recognizing Jerusalem as the "capital of Israel", US President Trump not only clearly violated international law, but also risked the slippery ground of peace between Palestine and Israel. Reacting to the international community, the Trump administration ignored warnings that the region would be plunged into chaos and the Israeli-Arab conflict would become even more unsolved. After the Jerusalem decision, the Palestinian state declared that the US lost its role as a mediator in the Israel-Palestine peace talks. Trump also reacted to the decision primarily Islamic countries, including Turkey still outstanding at December 13, 2017 in Jerusalem gathered in Istanbul with Turkey's efforts Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) declared East Jerusalem the capital of Palestine. In addition, the draft resolution presented to the UN regarding the invalidity of Trump's decision Jerusalem prepared by Turkey's initiative, votes against 9 128 in the voting at the General Assembly was adopted. Thus, Trump's scandalous decision was rejected by the UN. Donald Trump has also followed a policy against the Palestinians regarding illegal Jewish settlement building activities, one of the main conflict points between Israel and Palestine. After Trump declared in his pre-election campaigns that "Jewish settlements built by Israel in the Palestinian territories do not prevent peace negotiations", the Israeli officials started to expand and build new illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. gave speed. After Trump announced that he accepted Jerusalem as the "capital of Israel" on December 6, 2017, Israeli forces intervened in demonstrations on the borders of the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza, martyring at least 16 Palestinians and injuring hundreds of Palestinians. . Palestinian official and non-governmental organizations also announced that Israeli forces detained 6,742 people in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem and Gaza throughout 2017, hundreds of them after Trump's decision on Jerusalem. A few months after Trump recognized Jerusalem as the "capital of Israel" on December 6, 2017, the US embassy in Tel Aviv was moved to occupied Jerusalem with a ceremony. For this, the election of May 14, the 70th anniversary of Israel's establishment, was also considered a complete provocation. The US embassy moved to Jerusalem under the shadow of the barrels of Israeli soldiers, who practically committed massacres by martyring dozens of peaceful protesters on the blockade of the Gaza Strip.
