Trump decision on Jerusalem could have deep repercussions
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}President Donald Trump's expected recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital is a move that could have deep repercussions across the region.
Wednesday's expected recognition will be welcomed by U.S. ally Israel and it will be popular with pro-Israel evangelical Christian voters who make up a key part of Trump's base.
But it could also trigger violence in the region, derail a developing U.S. Mideast peace plan before it even gets off the ground and infuriate key allies in the Arab world and the West.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Israel claims all of the city as its capital, while the Palestinians claim the city's eastern sector, captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, as the capital of a future independent state. The international community overwhelmingly says Jerusalem's final status should be resolved through negotiations.
