Two Corrupt Leaders Open Pandora's Box in Middle East

Good Day World!

Yesterday will go down as a day of infamy. 

Trump's moving the American Embassy to Jerusalem is a culmination of two corrupt leaders, Trump and Netanyahu's, efforts to secure personal business ties under the guise of bringing peace to the middle east.

The official unveiling of the new US Embassy on Jerusalem was greeted by mass protests by enraged Palestinians. According to Israel Defense Forces (IDF), they were 35,000 protesters.

While Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump cozied up to Netanyahu and unveiled the new embassy plaque, Palestinians were dying in clashes with the IDF on the Gaza Strip.

The current estimate of 55 dead, and 2,700 wounded will undoubtedly go up, as the result of the carnage is unveiled later today, and in the days ahead.

Fact: Yesterday, was the deadliest day for Palestinians since the 2014 war.

The IDF used tanks, drones that dropped gas on the crowds, and even air strikes against the protesters who were there to regain their homes lost by their ancestors.

France issued a formal statement yesterday:

This decision contravenes International Law and in particular the resolutions the Security Council and the UN General Assembly."

Turkey's prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, recalled his ambassadors to the US and Israel in an official protest on Trump's decision to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

The ensuring blood bath was preordained from the moment Trump made the announcement that the US was moving its embassy, despite worldwide protests.

Thanks to two corrupt leaders, Pandora's Box has been opened in the middle east. Time will tell how many lives will be lost on both sides because of this stupid and corrupt decision.

Time for me to walk on down the road...
