Trump puts Mideast on edge.

• President Trump is to announce today that the U.S. will recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, a decision that Arab and European leaders warned could disrupt the Mideast peace process and unleash violence across the region.

The president wants to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to one of the world’s most fiercely contested areas: West Jerusalem is the seat of Israel’s government, but the Palestinians view East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.

The president’s decision, likely to be welcomed by evangelicals and ardently pro-Israel American Jews, would upend nearly seven decades of U.S. foreign policy. The White House is preparing for possible unrest and is making plans to protect Americans abroad.
