Donald
Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel is a
turning point in the history of the Israel-Palestine conflict.
However, the issue is much bigger than Palestine as Donald Trump may
have just lit the match that will set off the powder keg of the Arab
World.

Donald
Trump’s announcement that the United States would recognize
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel predictably sent shockwaves
throughout the Middle East and reverberated around the world. Anger
and outrage have been seen on the streets of Palestinian cities, as
well as in major cities around the world, where diaspora Palestinians
and their allies have launched a wave of protests in condemnation of
this outrageous provocation by Washington.
But amid
the fiery indignation much of the analysis of the political and
strategic consequences of the proclamation has remained superficial
at best. Few have bothered to ask the all-important questions related
to Palestinian resistance, regional dynamics, and global political
and economic relations that must frame our understanding of this
watershed moment in the long, sad history of modern Palestine.
