On Monday, May 14, towards the 70th anniversary of the formation of the State of Israel, the United States is moving its diplomatic mission from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Changes occur in accordance with the decision of US President Donald Trump, who in December last year recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, recalls RIA Novosti,. At the same time, the status of Jerusalem is one of the main components of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, since the Palestinians demand that the eastern part of the city should belong to them. Israel considers the city, including its eastern areas and historic center, 50 years ago annexed from Jordan, its capital. The rest of the world has not recognized the actions of Israel, therefore East Jerusalem and the West Bank of the Jordan are treated as occupied territories. Earlier, before the announcement of President Trump, the US shared this position. By the jubilee of the Israeli state, the American embassy will not move to Jerusalem completely - only the ambassador and a small group of diplomats will go there. It is planned that all services will be relocated to the city for the next 6 years. The law on the transfer of the embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was adopted by the US Congress back in 1995. However, the uncertain status of the city and the complexity of the situation in the region led to the fact that all US presidents signed a document every 6 months that deferred the execution of the decision of the Congress. President Trump's statement was discussed in the UN General Assembly, as a result 128 countries voted in favor of the resolution on non-recognition of US decisions on the status of Jerusalem, 9 opposed and 35 abstained.
