mr trump's most controversial to date, and overturns decades of us foreign policy. it has been met with unease across the world. a spokesman for the palestinian president mahmoudd it would have "dangerous consequences" for the region. the bbc‘s yolande knell reports from jerusalem. for many israelis, mr trump's formal recognition of israeli sovereignty overjerusalem corrects an historic injustice. this is a city with 3,000 years ofjewish history — their seat of government. and there has long been frustration that the us, israel's closest ally, just has consulate offices here, not its embassy. now that is set to change and there are hopes that other countries will follow washington's lead. i expect the leaders of the free world to recognisejerusalem as the capital of israel. we recognise paris as the capital of france and berlin as the capital of germany. we expect our friends to recognise our own capital as what it is. about a third ofjerusalemites are palestinians. the old city here has some of the holiest sites for muslims and christians as well as jews. and palestinians want occupied eastjerusalem as the capital of their future state. they object to the us
