The US "moving the museum" touching the "sensitive nerve" between Palestine and Israel will aggravate regional tensions.
Cctv newsAt 1 pm local time on the 6th and at 2 am Beijing time today, US President Trump announced that he would recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and would start the process of moving the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

This move has aroused great concern in the international community, and many parties are worried that this move will increase the instability in the Middle East.
Trump: The United States still supports the "two-state plan."
In addition, Trump said that the United States is still committed to advancing the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks process and supports the "two-state plan."
According to reports, the construction and relocation of the new embassy is expected to take several years due to personnel and security issues. In 1995, the US Congress passed the "Jerusalem Embassy Act", which recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and required the government to set up an American embassy in Jerusalem before May 31, 1999. However, the President was allowed to postpone the deadline for the sake of national security interests, and must inform Congress every six months.
Since the founding of Israel in 1948, successive American presidents have not recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. After the promulgation of the "Jerusalem Embassy Act", many American presidents kept postponing the time limit for setting up an American embassy in Jerusalem in accordance with legal requirements.
US media: Great changes have taken place in US Middle East policy.
On the same day, many American media said that Trump’s move was a great change in American foreign policy in recent decades, which also made the United States the only country to set up an embassy in Jerusalem.
The status of Jerusalem has always been one of the most sensitive issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Although the international community warned the United States before, this time US President Trump violated international practice and recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, which may further aggravate regional tensions.
Abbas: Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Palestine.
Trump’s recognition that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and his intention to move the American Embassy to Jerusalem naturally aroused the anger of the Palestinian side.
Early this morning, Beijing time, Palestinian media broadcast a televised speech by Palestinian President Abbas. Abbas said that Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Palestinian state.
Abbas: The United States has actually withdrawn from the peace process.
He also pointed out that the Trump administration’s actions violated international law and bilateral resolutions, and let the United States "withdraw" from the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.
In order to express strong dissatisfaction with "the United States recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel", several Palestinian factions designated the 6th to 8th as "Three Days of Anger" and launched large-scale demonstrations.
A large number of Hamas supporters took to the streets of Gebali, northern Gaza, to protest against the announcement by US President Trump that Jerusalem was recognized as the Israeli capital.
Many people hold it in Arabic — — "Jerusalem, here we are!" Some people hold the Palestinian flag in their hands.
According to local media reports, just after Trump’s speech, angry people spontaneously poured into the streets in many places in Gaza, burning tires and expressing their dissatisfaction.
President Prime Minister praised Trump’s decision
In sharp contrast to the anger of Palestinians, Israeli President rivlin issued a statement this morning, Beijing time, saying that Trump’s decision was the "most appropriate and beautiful gift" for the "70th anniversary of the founding of Israel next year".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a speech in Jerusalem, thanking Trump for making a fair and brave decision, calling it a "historic day" for Israel.
Netanyahu also said that "only by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel can there be peace in this region", so he thought Trump’s statement was "an important step to achieve peace". He called on Israel’s "close neighbors", including the Palestinians, to work together and called on other countries to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, with a view to "making the dream of peace come true at an early date." )
Jerusalem’s status from Clinton to Trump
Due to the complexity and particularity of the status of Jerusalem, several American presidents have been very cautious in this regard. And why did Trump recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel at this time?
In fact, recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was not proposed by Trump. In 1995, the U.S. Congress passed the "Jerusalem Embassy Act", which recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and requested the U.S. government to move the embassy to Jerusalem before May 31, 1999. However, the President was allowed to postpone the move for the sake of national security interests, and must inform Congress every six months. Since then US President Bill Clinton, every president has signed an exemption order, that is to say, no American president since 1995 has moved the US Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. In line with the efforts to promote the resumption of peace talks between Palestine and Israel, Trump also signed an exemption order to delay the relocation in June this year.
Now Trump has decided to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and is ready to start the process of moving the embassy to Jerusalem. One of the reasons is to honor his campaign promises made during the presidential election. During the 2016 US presidential election, Trump firmly stated that he would defend Israel, and said that he would recognize the capital of Israel as Jerusalem and move the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, which won him the support of a large number of American Jews and pro-Israel American voters.
Why is the Trump administration willing to take many "anger"
Many analysts pointed out that this latest decision of the Trump administration will not only undermine the Palestinian-Israeli peace talks, but also increase the instability in the Middle East.
Then, why is the Trump administration so "taking the world by storm"?
All along, the United States and Israel have emphasized that the Jerusalem issue should be finally resolved through consultation between Palestine and Israel. However, Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel seems to have broken the existing "delicate balance".
American experts: fulfilling campaign promises is not willing to be limited by the United States.
Matthew brodsky, an American expert on Middle East policy, said in an interview with CCTV reporter that this decision of the United States has its own political considerations.
American experts: wooing Jewish forces to strengthen the US-Israel alliance
Some analysts said that Trump’s statement, on the one hand, is to win over Jewish financial interest groups in the United States, on the other hand, it is intended to strengthen the US-Israel alliance and consolidate the power of the United States in the Middle East.
Dramatic shift in US policy intensifies regional tension.
The Palestinian-Israeli issue has long plagued the whole Middle East, and the status of Jerusalem has always been one of the most sensitive and complicated issues. Washington post published an article saying that Trump’s move would aggravate regional tensions and make the Palestinian-Israeli peace process more difficult. At the same time, National Public Radio reported that Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was a dramatic change in American foreign policy in recent years.
