That is a very lame response. As a country and internationally we should be very concerned by the commitment from President Trump to move the embassy to east Jerusalem. Within 48 hours of his inauguration, or even before the inauguration, Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel stated there was no longer a need to co-ordinate construction in Jewish neighbourhoods in east Jerusalem and that Israel will build where it wants and as much as it wants. I have a map in my office and I am sure other Deputies also have it. It indicates the very drastic changes to the occupied areas of Palestine over the past few decades. It is being encroached upon in a very serious way. This action will both provoke and unleash major violent reactions in Palestine and Israel and will further destabilise the region. Jordan has already warned that this will feed into the actions of Islamic fundamentalists and give them more fuel. That is why we must be concerned about it. It has global implications and, in particular, for the future of the people of Palestine and how that will affect diplomacy across the world.
