Abstract

The research deals with President Donald Trump's declaration on Jerusalem in
a speech delivered on Wednesday evening, December 6, 2017,in which he
announced Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. It is in a historic and dangerous
decision that turns a period of decades of American policy that could lead to a
new wave of violence in the Middle East. This decision reflects a "new approach"
to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Trump thus has taken a decision that all US
presidents have postponed since 1995, emphasizing that he only fulfills a
promise that his predecessors "failed" to fulfill. The study deals with this decision
in terms of its legality and its consistency with the rules of international law and
United Nations resolutions, in an attempt to raise the issue for objective
discussion. The research is divided into two sections:
The first section: Jerusalem in the international law

The second section: the legitimacy of Trump's declaration on Jerusalem
The research concluded that the decision violates the rules of international law
and resolutions of international legitimacy, as well as the Oslo Accords between
the Palestinian and Israeli parties under American auspices, and constitutes a
threat to a just, comprehensive and lasting solution to the Palestinian case
