US President Donald Trump will officially recognise entire city of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth revealed on Thursday.
According to the paper, Israeli bestselling daily, Trump will make the announcement during his upcoming visit to Israel, reportedly in late May.
Since 1948, when a gang of Zionist Jewish group announced the state of Israel, US policy has not recognised any party as sovereign in any part of Jerusalem.
During his election campaign, Trump vowed repeatedly to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem, drawing fierce objections from the Palestinians.
Israel occupied West Jerusalem in 1948 and East Jerusalem and the Old City in 1967. Israel claims that united Jerusalem is its capital. But, the international community does accept this.
The new US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, is due to arrive in Jerusalem on May 15 and to present his credentials to the president of the Israeli occupation state Reuven Rivlin in June.
