U.S. Decision On Jerusalem Sparks Anger And Concern : The Two
Updated at 4:45 a.m.  ET
President Trump 's decision to go ahead with relocating the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem â a move that effectively acknowledges Washington's recognition of the city as Israel's capital â has prompted warnings of violence and concern that the move will scuttle any chance at advancing peace efforts.
During the 2016 campaign   Trump  promised to allow the embassy to be moved  and on Monday   he  allowed a deadline for the next waiver to expire. The White House told reporters on Tuesday that the president would officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital in a speech on Wednesday. The actual establishment of a U.S. embassy compound in Jerusalem would likely take years.
 Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas  who spoke by telephone with Trump   warned against "the dangerous consequences such a decision would have to the peace process and to the peace  security and stability of the region and of the world "  Abbas  spokesman Navil Abu Rudeina said in a statement  according to Al-Jazeera.
In a fiery televised speech on Monday  Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned  Trump  by name that the move constituted a "red line" for Muslims.
Speaking in a telephone call to  Trump  on Monday  French President Emmanuel Macron stressed that Jerusalem's status should be resolved as part of a two-state solution that would result in "Israel and Palestine  living side by side in peace and security with Jerusalem as their capital " according to a statement put out by France's Foreign Ministry.
