Senior Muslim cleric pans Jerusalem Trump train plans

Ikrema Sabri, a senior Muslim cleric in Jerusalem, is denouncing plans to extend a train line to Jerusalem and name a stop for Donald Trump, saying that Palestinians won’t accept “any change or act in the occupied territories.”

“Giving the name of Trump to this project will not give it any legitimacy,” the former grand mufti of Jerusalem says. “It would be just another implementation of the unacceptable decision of President Trump to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.”
