President Donald Trump of the United States of America decided to move the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and recognizing it as the capital of Israel. This move came as a reversal to decades of US policy and also caused a lot of unrest in the Middle East. Many countries rallied against this decision including Palestine, and there has been a sharp criticism drawn from almost everyone except Israel.


French President Emmanuel Macron branded Trump’s stance as “regrettable” and called for efforts to “avoid violence at all costs.” German Chancellor Angela Merkel said through her spokesman that she “does not support” Trump’s reversal of decades of US policy.The European Union’s chief diplomat Federica Mogherini voiced “serious concern” at Trump’s new stance on Jerusalem.
