Celebrating the moving of the US Embassy to Jerusalem would be complete if an Embassy of the US was also opening in East Jerusalem in recognition of the State of Palestine by the US. Don’t despair – it will happen in the future.
If I were the leader of Israel I would invite the Palestinians to establish the embassy of the State of Palestine to Israel in West Jerusalem and would announce our willingness to establish the Embassy of the State of Israel to Palestine in East Jerusalem.
It will happen – it is up to us to make it happen!
Two peoples, one hope! – Two capitals, one city!
We need some rational, cool thinking and analysis now.
“We must never lose sight of the fact that Israeli-Palestinian peace is possible and it will be reached. It will be based on the end of the occupation, the establishment of a democratic Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza; a shared open capital in Jerusalem; economic cooperation; water sharing; mutual respect and recognition of the dignity and importance of both sides political, cultural, historic and religious heritage in this land; the removal of Israeli settlers in the West Bank and Gaza and the end of the suffering of the Palestinian refugees through return to the State of Palestine (for those who want it) with financial compensation and assistance for the resettlement, housing and employment generation for all Palestinian refugees. This was, is and will be the basis for peace between Israel and Palestine.”
