Arab Knesset leader brands Trump a ‘pyromaniac’ for embassy move
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJoint (Arab) List leader Ayman Odeh calls Trump a “pyromaniac” after reports said he told regional leaders of his “intention” to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
“Trump is a pyromaniac, and will set the entire region ablaze with his madness,” Odeh says in a statement. “If one thing has been made clear in recent days, it’s that the US should not remain the broker of talks between Israel and the Palestinians.”
“If the Israeli government wants the world to recognize West Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, all it has to do is recognize East Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine.”
