Trump Willing To Pay To Fulfill Campaign Promise Of Recognizing Jerusalem

President Donald Trump's decision Wednesday to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital has temporarily derailed the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. That "derailment" was a cost the White House was prepared to accept to fulfill Trump's campaign promise. The move left Palestinian officials fuming, with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and his chief negotiator Saeb Erakat blasting the US decision. They claimed Trump's move "disqualified" the US from mediating the peace process.
