The image shows the PA map of “Palestine” that presents all of Israel as “Palestine” together with the PA areas, and in it is seen the Dome of the Rock. To the left of the map appears a dove, and standing in front of the map is a Palestinian wearing a keffiyeh (Arab headdress) and carrying a Palestinian flag. This is in response to US President Donald Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and transfer the US embassy there.

US recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel - On Dec. 6, 2017, US President Donald Trump gave a speech formally recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and stating that he had instructed the State Department to begin preparations to transfer the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. Trump concluded by stating that the US is still fully committed to the peace process in the Middle East. Following his speech, Trump signed the waiver to delay the transfer of the embassy, and apparently will continue to do so until preparations for the transfer have been completed.
