Abbas: War Likely If Jerusalem Isn't PA Capital; Trump Needs to Choose between Peace and War

Palestinian Authority (PA) Chairman Mahmoud Abbas today (January 17, 2018) threatened war if U.S. President Donald Trump does not allocate Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state, according to the Israel National News website.


In a Cairo speech, Abbas said: "Jerusalem is the key to peace if it is our capital, and if it is not -- it is the key to war. Trump will need to choose."


Abbas said Trump provoked millions of Muslims by choosing to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.


"There is no such thing as a Palestinian who will give up even one millimeter of Jerusalem," he claimed.
