President Donald Trump United front on Jerusalem issue for the sake of peace.
THE move by President Donald Trump to go ahead with the sensitive issue of pushing the agenda to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital has brought about an overwhelming sense of unity against the leader of the world’s superpower.
Trump, by championing a move of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem in the future, has senselessly provoked the Muslim world and sparked vehement protest from non-Muslim countries and communities who have joined the fray in opposing only because they want to see peace in the Middle East.
In a single stroke, his statement last week on the matter has united the Muslim world against him, including his closest allies in the Middle East such as Saudi Arabia.
It looks like there are only two countries who are in favour of Jerusalem being recognised as a capital city – the US and Israel itself.
The single most important determinant to stand against the United States in this matter is not for religious purposes or to take sides in the long-standing conflict in the Middle East between Israel and the rest of the Arab world.
It is to contribute to a peace process in the Middle East and elsewhere in the world such as South-East Asia. It is to avert another potential humanitarian crisis should the Jerusalem issue escalate into a full-scale conflict.
Already the world is witnessing senseless acts of terrorism in the name of religion. We don’t need fresh issues to aggravate matters.
Critics argue that fears of the Jerusalem issue sparking another wave of terrorism is over-blown.
They claim that the threats from Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group have been prevalent even without the issue of Jerusalem’s recognition being brought to the fore.
The argument is that both these terror groups would continue to exist with or without the Jerusalem issue.
It is too simplistic a view.
One must understand that terrorism is driven by emotions and beliefs. For instance, most individuals are driven to commit acts of terrorism due to their beliefs. It is not for the greed of money.
In this respect, the fewer reasons given for the rise of terror, the better it is. The Jerusalem issue gives rise to one more reason to provoke acts of extremism and terrorism.
