12/6/17: Trump declares Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Pretty much the entire world condemns the move. The head of the United Nations warns that this decision creates a “moment of high anxiety.” The Pope criticizes his actions. So do all the countries of the Middle East, including key U.S. allies in the fight against ISIS (Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia). France, Germany, and Great Britain label it a mistake. The European Union opposes.
The president of Indonesia (a moderate nation of 225 million
Muslims) takes a strong stance. “This can rock global security and safety,” he
warns. (See 12/23/17, for additional world reaction.)
