US Recognition of Jerusalem Has Little Effect While Netanyahu Remains in Power
There is no peace process and there has not been one for four years, so it is not going to have an immediate effect on anything that is going on. However, if the Trump administration presented a peace plan to the Israelis and the Palestinians tomorrow that had backing from the Saudis, the Egyptians and the Jordanians, then the US would be a player. Because there are no negotiations going on now between Israel and Palestine, the Trump statement on Jerusalem has no impact on the peace process, because there is none.
