It is evident that when it comes to addressing its own interests, the PA (Palestinian Authority) does not walk on eggshells in its dealings with the international community as Israel often must, and the case of relocating the US Embassy to Jerusalem is no exception.
Senior PA (Palestinian Authority) official Jibril Rajoub announced on Sunday, 24 Teves “In my opinion, the [United States] moving the embassy to Jerusalem is a declaration of war against Muslims”, sending a clear message to the international Islamic community as how they are expected to respond.
The PA’s mantra over the years has in fact for many, re-written history books, now boasting a claim to not just Har Habayis, but Yerushalayim as well, seemingly forgetting Mecca and the Koran. For the enemies of Israel and the Jewish People however, this fits their ideology and opposition to the move is audible among nations of the world in addition to the PA.
Rajoub spoke with the Times of Israel and warned of America “giving the keys to Jerusalem holy sites to the Jews”, as if they are being taken from the fictitious Palestinian people. Rajoub was quick to add the PA will never wave a white flag to Israel, MEMRI reports in its translation of the Arabic interview. Not wishing to be perceived as too moderate by its neighbors, Jordan has also announced moving the embassy to Jerusalem would represent “crossing a red line”, as Jordan over the years since the liberation of the Kosel and Har Habayis in 1967 has been permitted to exercise a measure of control on Har Habayis via the Waqf Authority.
King Abdullah of Jordan met in Amman on Sunday with PA Chairman Abu Mazen to discuss the embassy issue.
Threats of “consequences” were also heard from Saudi Arabia regarding the planned embassy move.

Saudi Arabia?? Jordan??? Who’s talking to you, who asked you? Talking about crossing red lines, why don’t you take all your people you care so much about, to your “side of line”?
Evils just looking for another excuse!! “PA will never wave a white flag to Israel”, you think we are that dumb? are you serious??
You’re so involved in hating, you don’t realize how stupid you sound!
Immediately,take back the 220million dollars that Obama gave them his last few hours on election day,and tell them all funding will stop from anyone the U.S. has influence with, if they start any violence

Dear Mr Trump,
You could also leave the embassy where it is, and announce that the capital of Israel, according to the USA, is Jerusalem!
Thank you, Mr President!
