Jerusalem capital

US mediation will have to help the sides identify a middle path toward resolving a tension potentially inherent in this approach between purely professional interests and each stakeholder’s agenda.

Since December of last year, there have been rumors that the Abu Dis plan was back in the cards.

Yesh Atid chairman Yair Lapid said that Netanyahu agreed to the plan to make Abu Dis the capital of the future Palestinian state.

The only way to achieve true stability in any territorial dispute is when all parties come to agreement, regardless of the law.

In a response to an opposition question on Jerusalem, a foreign ministry official dodged the question: "Every state has the right to determine a city within its territory to be its capital."

No city around the world can truly copy Jerusalem.

Outrage continued across Turkish and Palestinian media over the weekend in response to reports that the United States embassy will be moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem within the coming months.

"I don’t see any real results on the ground out of these activities."

Protesters threw tomatoes at a sports utility vehicle, which had US consular license plates, kicked one of its doors and ripped the plastic casing off a side mirror.

With the most powerful nation on the planet setting the course towards acknowledging Jerusalem as the Israeli capital, others will have an easier time doing the same.
