Matthew RJ Brodsky joins Africa Live with Beatrice Marshall on CGTN Africa to discuss what many international leaders are calling the Jerusalem controversy. He answers four key questions (with a straight face):
- What does the decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital tell us about President Trump's foreign policy?
- A number of international leaders are urging President Trump to rescind his decision on the status of Jerusalem. Is this an option if matters escalate?
- Given the almost global condemnation of Trump's decision, what measures can be instituted against the U.S. if this issue is raised at the UN Security Council?
- The reaction in Palestinian territories is already pointing to heightened instability for the wider Middle East region in the coming weeks. Is the U.S. really interested in a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
