Israel opposes the reopening of the US consulate in occupied East Jerusalem, fearing it could trigger “hope” that it would become the American embassy to Palestine, experts say
“It’s really important if the US believes in the two-state solution, it sticks to its guns and insists on reopening the consulate in East Jerusalem.”
Falk also thinks that the US cannot further enforce its demand to reopen the Jerusalem consulate over Israel. That’s an interesting fact regarding the US superpower status across the world. In the worst scenario, tensions between Israel and the US could push the two allies to the point of “the uneasy relationship of the Obama presidency”, but in reality, there will be no real change, according to Falk.
But according to Ramzy Baroud, a Palestinian political analyst, the Bennet government is using the current fractious anti-Netanyahu coalition government as a political tool “to defer” the US decision on reopening the consulate.
