American embassy in Jerusalem
On Monday the new US embassy opened in Jerusalem, Israel. Trump made the decision to move the embassy earlier this year, after recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capitol. This was a slap in the face of Palestinians, but worse is that this disruption seems to have no clear goal. There's no follow-up, no renewed talks, no international diplomacy and once again no clear policy. Why cause such disruption, knowing it'll stir up violence in the area?
