Trump's Plan- Jerusalem Implications

Jerusalem is a significant component of Trump's plan that was presented this Tuesday. Here are some of the plan's highlights:


BORDERS:
The plan recognizes the Security Barrier as the division line between Israeli Jerusalem and the future Palestinian Jerusalem. This is in contrast to the “Clinton Parameters,” that stated all Arab neighborhoods would be part of the future Palestinian State.


HOLY SITES:
All of Jerusalem's holy sites should remain under Israeli responsibility, while maintaining a religious status quo, particularly in regards to the Temple Mount. However, the plan indicates that people of ALL faiths should be permitted to pray on the Temple Mount. This is a dramatic change from the current status quo.
