re: #15 theye1
It would be read as the USA is acknowledging Israel’s claims on Eastern Jerusalem.
I have explained above why that statement is factually and logically false. However, I would be interested in your explanation how placing the U.S. Embassy in West Jerusalem, which
1. Has been within Israel’s territory since 1948
2. Has been Israel’s declared capital since December 1949 and
3. According to supporters of the Palestinian cause is purportedly not territory in which the Palestinians desire to create a state,
may logically be interpreted as supporting any claim on East Jerusalem.
