Trump’s Decision on Embassy Relocation Doomed to Failure: Palestine

“Trump and his successors would fail to move their embassy to Jerusalem, just like their predecessors,” Salah Al-Zawawi said.

Trump recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel early December, saying the US embassy will soon be moved to the city after over 20 years of foot-dragging by previous US presidents.

Trump’s decision was met with widespread condemnation from the international community, with protests taking place across the Middle East, as well as in Malaysia, Indonesia, Afghanistan, Somalia, Pakistan, Bangladesh and South Africa.

Much of the Europe also saw large protests, including the UK, Germany, Macedonia, Austria and France, as well as demonstration in major US cities.

The embassy is due to be moved in May and will temporarily be hosted in the Jerusalem Al-Quds’ Arnona neighborhood, recognized as occupied territory under international law, until another building is constructed.

Speaking to the Persian-language ICANA, Zawawi referred to famous remarks by the late founder of Islamic Republic Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini that Israel is a “cancerous tumor” that must be wiped out, saying the “fake regime” will eventually collapse, despite strong backing for Israel by western states.

In August 1979, Ayatollah Khomeini declared the last Friday of Ramadan as the International Quds Day, calling on Muslims across the world to hold street rallies in protest to the long-standing occupation of the Palestine.

“The declaration shows this Muslim leader well understood the situation [of Palestine] about 4o years ago, when there were only 10 Zionist settlements [in the West Bank]”, he said.

From 1979 through 2016, the number of Israeli settlements established in the West Bank reached over 200.

In a ceremony attended by Iran’s Vice-President Ali-Asghar Moonesan, the plan was officially launched for the first time in Rasht.

“The national plan of White Nights is expected to be launched in other cities of Gilan province in the near future with the aim of attracting more domestic and foreign tourists,” a Farsi report by the IRIB News Agency quoted him as saying.

Reza Alizadeh, the General Director of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Office of Gilan province said the plan was launched in the Cultural Pedestrian of Rasht.

The plan makes the cultural and tourist activities of the city 24/7 in a bid to attract foreign and domestic tourists. “During the White Nights, the handicraft artists can get in touch directly with the ordinary people for selling their products at an appropriate price.”

He went on to say the White Nights plan is among initiatives developed with the aim of attracting further tourists to Gilan province.

 

White Nights Create More Jobs

Moonesan, who is also the head of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts, and Tourism Organization, said the White Nights plan has great advantages including job creation.

Speaking to reporters, Moonesan said the plan makes the city more active and provides the people with a new public space.

There are about 75 booths along the Cultural Pedestrian of Rasht which display and sell various handicrafts deeply rooted in the city’s history and culture.
