Palestinians in various cities of the West Bank in the Gaza Strip have been protesting (some call it Day-of-Rage) after President Trump’s announcement on Wednesday, December 6, 2017, in recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and will begin moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Some believe that this recognition on the part of Trump is due to fulfilling his campaign promise. Ronen Bergman, contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and author of the book “Rise and Kill First: The Secret History of Israel’s Targeted Assassinations,” joins CBSN to discuss the impact the decision could have on the Middle East.

Much remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: tension in Middle East has risen and Americans need to take caution if traveling abroad, especially in Middle East.
