(Newsweek) Fred Lucas - Donald Trump vowed that, if elected, "We will move the American Embassy to the eternal capital of the Jewish people, Jerusalem." Jonathan Schanzer, vice president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said, "The president has committed to ultimately making a shift, and this is the groundwork for that shift, not all at once, but helping the region acclimate." The administration likely has other plans, Schanzer said, and stressed it's not as simple as Trump keeping a campaign promise or potentially disrupting the peace process. "There could be other things the president is offering the Palestinians in a larger package. This could be a regional architecture. It's not peace, but it's a second cousin. Some Arab states are already willing to help Israel if Israel will help them with Iran." "The Palestinians may be pushed to a place they aren't familiar with. The U.S. is not allowing them to control the terms. And if there is a regional diplomatic architecture, the Palestinians will not want to be left behind."2017-12-06 00:00:00Full Article
