Kerry: Trump moving U.S. embassy to Jerusalem would lead to a Mideast explosion - Israel News - Haaretz.com
Democrat and establishment Republican instincts in foreign affairs are proving to be poison.
Biden's big idea amidst peace breaking out would be turning Syria into the next US quagmire. :roll:
"You'd have an explosion," he said in an interview with CBS. "You’d have an explosion – an absolute explosion in the region, not just in the West Bank and perhaps even in Israel itself, but throughout the region. The Arab world has enormous interest in the Haram al-Sharif, as it is called, the Temple Mount, the Dome [of the Rock], and it is a holy site for the Arab world."
"And if all of a sudden Jerusalem is declared to be the location of our embassy, that has issues of sovereignty, issues of law that it would deem to be affected by that move and by the United States acquiescing in that move, and that would have profound impact on the readiness of Jordan and Egypt to be able to be as supportive and engaged with Israel as they are today," he said.
