US Embassy Relocation to Give Israel Open Slather

US President Donald Trump’s plan to move the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem (al-Quds) has drawn a lot of criticism.

The controversial decision has also evoked Palestinians’ bitter opposition which regards Jerusalem (al-Quds) as the future capital of an independent Palestinian state.

A political commentator from Brisbane believes relocating the US embassy is “really a disgraceful” move, adding that it is going to give Israel “open slather” to basically claim all of Palestine.

“It will destroy the peace process, it will escalate the conflict and there will be mass exodus from the area. The Palestinians will be moved to Jordan or somewhere else. The Israelis want them gone and this will just give them the excuse they need to continue their ethnic cleansing programs,” Max Igan told in an interview on Monday.

He also noted transferring the American embassy will “escalate the war on terror”, and it will “inflame the Muslim world”.

The commentator concluded by saying that Trump is making a “very dangerous move”, asserting that if the US embassy is transferred to Jerusalem (al-Quds), there will be a huge escalation in tensions and in the ethnic cleansing program that Israel is waging against Palestinians.
