As U.S. prepares to open embassy in Jerusalem, Middle East braces for more unrest
One
week before the planned May 14 inauguration of the U.S. Embassy in
Jerusalem, Nir Barkat, the city's mayor, climbed up a ladder and grandly
installed a sign reading "U.S. Embassy" in English, Arabic and Hebrew.
"This
is not a dream — it's reality!" he posted on his Facebook page beneath a
picture of himself, attired in a black suit, affixing the sign to a
pole.
"I
thank President Trump for making this historic moment come to
fruition," he wrote. "Jerusalem is the eternal capital of the Jewish
people — and the world is beginning to recognize this fact."
There
is little reason to think that is the case, though Paraguay, Guatemala,
the Czech Republic and a handful of other countries will follow the
American move in the coming weeks.
