ISR-PAL: JERUSALEM - Coggle Diagram
ISR-PAL: JERUSALEM
2018: Trump declared Jerusalem : the capital of Israel + moved his embassy
Palestinian :no_entry:
--> strengthen the tension of 70 years old
1
ISR + PAL: Jerusalem = their capital
• Israel controls West-Jerusalem since 1949
• 6 days war: Israel captured the East
International community = the East of J = occupied territory
• 1980: ISR declared J --> unified capital
o UN condemned this annexation
• PAL: make J-East : capital of a future Palestinian-state
• ISR: the whole J become their capital
2
Jerusalem = central to the peace process
Oslo accords = didn’t talk about J --> no wish to aggravate the peace talks
3
Violence is not new in the Holy city
• Control of J = the origin of many conflict
• J-East : a lot of holy sites for Jews and Muslim ==> problem: in the same land
o Israel: controls who has access to the complex
o Muslims: religious control inside
o Jews can enter but are not allowed to pray (prier)
• 2000: Second intifada
o Opposition leader, Sharon, visited the temple mount ==> affirm Israel’ right to the complex
o Violence during 5 years ==> 3000 Palestinians killed
4
US : not the only country that moved his embassy
==> Guatemala and Paraguay
5
The US has avoided the embassy move for decades
20 years ago: The Congress signed a law to move the embassy to J
• BUT the President could delay it --> national security
• Trump moved the embassy in 2018
o Opposition against it grew
Fight for Jerusalem :explode:
The stability of the ISR-PAL conflict --> in danger
